I have some color film that I shot about a year ago. They are currently in the frige, but I won't be able to develop them for a while longer. Should I keep them in the freezer instead?

The freezer would be best. It is a good idea to process film; colour in particular, as soon as possible after exposing to minimize latent image degradation and possible colour shift. Good luck.

What colour film is it? C41? E6?

Anyway I agree that it'd be a good idea to process it. But failing that, I think I'd be inclined to keep it exactly where it is and avoid as many changes in the storage conditions as possible.

It's C-41, mostly Kodak Gold 100. I have to keep it sitting around until I get some money ...

Thanks for the advice :smile:
