I developed two rolls of FP4+ last night in HD-11 and do not recall doing anything I had not done 50 or 100 times before. However, when I scanned the negatives they were "filthy." A very large number of small white spots all over the frame. Looking at the negs with a loupe I can see black spots all over. I am not sure that they are dust as they are black. I used brand new fixer, and I think the stop bath and clearer are ok. Any ideas as to what might be causing this?? I air dried the film in the same bathroom I always do and neither the hear nor the air came on. Most of the negatives on both rolls are beyond spotting with the clone tool. The only thing I can think of is that it was a humid night and perhaps the film was not quite dry when I put it in the sleeves. But, not really likely. While I always assume that there is a fixed ratio of dumb mistakes to rolls developed, I would like to know what happened. Any help appreciated. Steve
