I wanted to mention something interesting that happened to me this morning on the way to what I expected to be a total catastrophe. I use Tetenal C41 Press Kits to process color negative film in a metal tank. This particular batch is pretty old - a couple of months at least, so the developer and blix both look about the same dark reddish brown. I inadvertently started pouring in blix before coming to my senses after maybe one or two seconds. I hurriedly washed four or five times to get rid of any residue because I read that even tiny amounts of blix can ruin the developer. Then I processed normally. The blix must affect the different dye layers at different rates, because on some of the negatives I got really amazing rainbow artifacts with intense blue and magenta at the strongest areas and red and yellow radiating out. I'm intrigued.

Am I rediscovering something everybody else here has known about forever?
