So I just developed my first roll of c41 last night and it turned out great except for water spots all over the negatives. I want to develop a second roll tonight but I’m worried about more water spots.
So, I didn’t use distilled water to mix the chemicals because I don’t recall the directions saying to do so and all the tutorials I saw people were doing it out of the tap. Would using distilled water to actually develop the roll help? Also, I didn’t use a squeegee. I used my 2 fingers to try to get as much water off and hung vertically to dry in my shower stall. I did do the stabilizer as the last step for 1 minute. Do I do a final rinse after that?
Thanks so much. I just want to figure out what to do about these water spots!
