This may be possible with carefully chosen monochromatic filters. This depends on some of the breakdown products staying put in the film, and the products being different for the various pigments. And on the backing/paper surviving. Obviously a poor second choice to proper care of the film in the first place. If you aren't planning to do anything to preserve your pix, maybe worth seeing which might be recoverable later. Rich Schroeppel Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=8223
