I just got back a roll of slide film which the Photo Lab could not cut
& put in mounts. (My fault) They loosely rolled it up & put it in a
rectangular cardboard box. In the mail the box got flattened. Is there any way
to remove the crimps? There are 13 crimps all together & a few are quite
sharply crimped.

What is the ultimate use for these dammaged
slides? Do you intend to scan them or project them? Both previous
replies will do you some good and if they are destined for projection, I
suggest both! Flatten them with books, then use glass slide mounts to
keep them flat. I don't know how critical the focus is on a
scanner. A sharp ridge on the slide may not remain in
focus.
If they are astrophotos with a dark sky
background, you didn't want them to cut and mount them anyway. Thats a
good way to get each picture cut in half as they can't see the border between
shots. Always cut and mount your own dark sky slides.
