[Abutate]

No that i am aware of, Loading film was in dark, However i am lucky enough to see some results. first two rolls complete waste.

Cyan can happen because of red light?

You can not expose any color film to light at any time prior to bleach or blix.

The images look OK for some reason.

PE

Cyan can happen because of red light?

If you scanned without any kind of color correction and just inverted colors, you should see a greenish/cyan cast because of the orange film base.

But I think you know that.

But what did you do to fix the problem?

 

[Abutate]

Nothing. This was 4th Roll. I have feeling my temp for Developer was either very high or low.
Plus now this roll Bleach is 6-7 Mins
Fixer- 6-7 Mins
5 Washes
Stabilizer 1.5 Mins

Do you think PE its been developed correctly now?

 

[Photo Engineer]

I have to see a picture of the film.

 

[Abutate]

Could you please advice how do you want me to take picture/capture film? Thanks and sorry for the hassle

I had the same problem (very dark negatives, resulting in greenish/cyan casts in the scanned images) with the Tetenal powder kit and it turned out the problem was that my thermometer had drifted several degrees.

Indeed thats one of the reasons i had trouble. I am still wondering if it has worked 100%. I am looking for a thermometer now. Currently have digital.
