I suspect that someone photographed magazine pages. I don’t think the dot pattern is in the film.

Here's something the more experienced photographers might be able to help me with...

Among these old slides I've been scanning are a handful of colour ones which are not part of the Australian stuff. A few of these colour ones (but not all) appear to have a kind of halftone pattern. See here for an example at 1200ppi.

As you can imagine it's fiendishly difficult to scan. Once I have a good scan (ie not blown out) it's quite easy to get rid of the pattern in Photoshop. Note I haven't done any colour corrections other than increasing the brightness a bit.

I've had a look using a 10x loupe and it looks a bit like an LCD screen but is hard to make out at such a low magnification. I might try a higher res scan later, and I'll find out whether the microscope at my wife's work has a camera.

Could anyone fill me in on what the film might be? The photo in the pic was taken in 1951. In case you're curious it's part of a photo taken at the top of Dyers Pass after a snow storm. I might post the full pic in future.

Cheers,
Dave
