It's no exaggeration to say that the Nova is the reason I can continue to print.
What's the possibility it's cross-processed slide film? That's what I have that looks like that.
The purple seems too intense to result from red fading.
Have you thought about leaving instructions to drain your blood after death and offer it on Photrio Someone here is bound to want to try and develop itI've been known to joke that I have Kodachrome in my veins.
I've always been sort of skeptical about the utility of these, but your account is very convincing! I can see how this is indeed a bit of a life-saver.
Maybe the processor didn't know it was slide film and just processed it as negative.
This is black-and-white film now. And not a bad one.I know I have some 126 Kodachrome (but that's useless).

I got some prints, quite hard work some of those negatives. It's too dark now so will show you all in the morning.
Tomorrow I'm going to continue making my life hard by trying to print some unmasked Agfa CN17 and Ilfocolor

Maybe we should start a new thread on Kodachrome as B&W?As an aside, what do you do to make Kodachrome a good b&w film? I've tried to eek something out of it a few times but got nothing useful.
Alternatively, as Gregory Davis suggested, you can use a combination of color-compensating filters: R-30, Y-35.I would put a clear piece of processed C41 negative (just the orange mask part) between the light source and the negative.
When I used to make prints from Agfa CN17 unmasked negatives (in my minilab a few years ago) I would put a clear piece of processed C41 negative (just the orange mask part) between the light source and the negative. It made the negative "look" like it had an orange mask and it would scan with very little correction on a Frontier scanner.
I know you are making optical prints but the same principle, in an enlarger, may help.

Yes, it does; it makes printing easier since filtration will be in / around a more familiar area. It works without the extra bit of masking film as well, but you need to really crank up M & Y to get where you need to be.
I understand that some enlargers came with an in-built orange filter, perhaps for this reason?
BTW, Both kodachrome and ektachrome were made in size 110 for the pocket instamatics, and Kodak made a CUTE Pocket Carrosel Projector. the pocket slides were smaller than 2X2 by default, BUT you could ask for 2X2 Cardboard Mounts. Those of course would not fit the Pocket Projector.
