applicable to slide film too

| May 1, 2013 at 22:02 | comment | added | coneslayer | @dpollitt Sometimes people will do (or ask the lab to do) a "snip test" where they cut off a couple of frames at the start of the roll, develop them, and use them to judge development of the rest of the roll. Usually that's done as an emergency measure ("I forgot what ISO the camera was set to") or to nail slide development very precisely (which probably only makes sense for consistent studio lighting). You'll probably cut a frame in half. I've never heard of it being done on purpose just to develop parts of a roll differently. | |
