HIE handling question

Hello Paul,

I just returned from a fantastic trip shooting HIE and chromes.
However, I made a small faux pas in that I mixed the film types in my
bag.  There are five identical film containers, two of which contain
exposed HIE and the other three with exposed slide film.  Is it really
that bad to not handle the HIE in total darkness just for a second or
two?  Is there a "safe" way to open the containers to see which film is
in what, or should I just face the consequences and hope for the best
(i.e.  if I open three and they are all chromes, I know HIE is in the
other two)?  Reminds me of that game on The Price is Right... :-))

I would suggest, that you load the film to a camera body in total
darkness. The body must have a small window to see the film inside.
If you body don't have such a window, then borrow one or go to a shop with
a dark room and do it there.

... Hermann
