Over the weekend I picked up a couple of rolls of (I thought) normal color prints from the Walgreens drugstore close to home and who usually do an acceptable job. When I got home I was appalled that one of the rolls had a heavy blue/green tint on it. I took it back the next day for them to reprint and color correct. I was polite, but then shocked when the clerk pointed out that it was slide film (Sensia II) that had been misprocessed. At first I was upset, but then I realized it was ultimately my responsibility for submitting the wrong film. It would have been helpful if the clerk had noticed, but it was still my responsibility. I will be more careful in the future. Luckily I was able to scan the prints, adjust the tint, and make kinda acceptable prints from the misprocessed film.
