Hello,

I have completed a roll of slide film with astrophotos (constellation
shots). Since this is my first try, i have only requested my lab to
process it without cutting. Today i got my film. Pictures seem good.
Now i don't know what to do next. I plan to cut the frames and select
the good ones for printing. Do you think i should print all of them?
If i cut the frames but not mount the slides, does it cause any
problem in printing or should i mount them before printing. I have not
shot any daylight or any other bright picture so it seems that there
is no other way to have my lab cut the slide. Or, is there any way?
If i don't plan to make slide shows, do i need to mount the slides?

Regards,

balci


If I'm reading you correctly, you have used slide film rather than
having a strip of negatives - is that right?

In which case I would suggest you cut and self-mount them yourself.

You can then hand the mounted negatives in to be printed.

I recall an astrophotography weekend back in '85/86 for Halley's Comet
where one of the two slide films we managed to take was spoiled by
having each of the images cut exactly in half as they were mounted. ;-(
