Re: [APML] Crimped Negatives



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.
