Re: [photo-3d] Don't reverse roll!

I think the issue is *how long* to leave it reverse rolled before it
overcorrects and starts to curl the opposite direction. I am sure that
this technique has indeed worked for you, but personally I have had
problems if I reverse roll film and then don't do the mounting, say, the
next day but go back a few days or so later and by then there is indeed
a reverse curl. Perhaps this doesn't happen with Kodachrome??? -Linda
