35mm negatives have lots of scratches

[aomoon]

Hi all, i pass the roll of film to Standard Photo for developing (color) and the photos looks okay. During scanning of the negatives , i realize there are lots of vertical scratches across ...can anyone advise does it mean that the lab actually print out the photos from the negative first and somehow the scratches came later ?

appreciate any advise on the process.
Thanks!

Hi guys,

I found the solution, i need to apply the Digital ICE setting in the scanner to remove the scratch marks and it works
Cheers!

you will lost some detail due to ICE. If Your scratch marks on film is from top to bottom and the print out looks ok, most likely is from your scanner. Use a loupe to check then.

upon close inspection of the negatives, the scratch marks are on the negative itself...upon using ICE, these are removed. Never occur to me before (hahha) ... does it mean that this is due to "rough handling" from the lab ?

Most of my negs from the lab either have dust spots, scratches, drying marks or all of the above =/

There was once I was collecting my film and CD and I saw the person holding onto the front part of the film and fitting it onto the scanner....and 40% of the film is touching the floor :dunno:

That's the reason why I develop my own film....

For color negatives, I pass it to a shop near my shop who I trust...

The front part (glossy side) is actually rather safe to touch. It's the back that you have to worry about; it's where the emulsion is.
