But somehow I feel that [the rumour] makes things more complicated rather than being any real help.
I find it a huge relief. I’ve neither the patience nor the steady hand for a pair of scissors.
Shouldn’t a scratch on a slide turn white?
It’s a thin black line, and my guess was that it was a scratch.
I’ve also had a colour slide film processed by a [cheap] lab and got it back full of black lines.
I’ve also wondered whether it might be because the clamps on my press have come apart a few times.
