    i developed the film and put it threw a film and slide scanner and thats the way they turned out some came out in a purple colour others in a black and white shade.

    Would it be i used the wrong chemical, The bottle of developer is old and no label on it.

    If its colour you really need to give way more info. Have you done any b/w?

    Agree. Black and white relatively easy to process, but many more variables with colour processing, including temperature control. Haven’t felt the need to torture myself with colour processing to date, but a few people here have dabbled with their own c41 processing, so perhaps they will be able to chime in to assist,

    Well today was my first time doing this. Im thinking i missed a stage in the hole developing part. Like i said i used a developer than a fixer , The label from the developer is gone so ill have to get a new bottle to make sure its not the wrong type im using.Is this stuff normaly pre mix.

    I take it with B/W you mean black & white.

    Black and white is a relatively basic process of developer, stop bath and fixer. Not sure what the colour process is, but I would recommend checking the documentation on the colour kit you used to develop, and review against what you actually did

    Can i suggest you give black and white a go first of all, have a look on youtube for some video, try and keep the chemicals at the required temp including the stop, fixer and wash for practice.

    I have used the Tetenal products for colour with ok results.
