What do you mean "fix" the film? You want to separate the doubly-exposed images? I don't think it's possible in any conventional way, but you might run the strip through your scanner and see what you can do in photoshop. Depends a lot on how overlapped your images are. I've had (and this was a long time ago, mind you--never happens to me now, of course....ha ha) double exposures that were really just 1/2 of two separate images that are taking up one frame. You can save those by cropping in the printing stage sometimes. Hope this helps.

Courtney, I was wondering if you are seeing two different images on the actual negative side by side as they should be, only they're not aligned correctly along the strip's frames. Or are you seeing this on the prints? Sometimes the lab's machine gets off it's rocker a little, and your prints will have half each of two images instead of one. This can be fixed by having your lab reprint them since they obviously made the mistake. If the mistake is on the negs, then it was your camera's fault. It's possible that your camera didn't load correctly when you loaded the film to begin with. How many of these double exposures are there?

Piper, the images are on top of each other. It is on APS film. Do you think that someone would be able to maniuplate the film? Courtney

I'm still not sure about your shots. If you mean that you can see the image from shot 1 through shot 2, then, no, I don't believe this can be fixed in any conventional way. You could try salvaging parts of each frame -- if, say, you have an unobstructed face within the chaos and you can crop out the rest. I don't know if I'd want to go to all the trouble unless these were once in a lifetime important shots. If you're asking if someone could be guilty of sabataging your negatives, then I still say no. If the negs are screwed, then it was most likely by your own hand--or malfunctioning camera, rather. If the prints are the only thing messed up, then you can fix the problem by having new prints made for no charge. I would also demand my money back for the first prints. Hope this helps.

Oops. sorry. couldn't find what I was looking for. I'd already fixed the shot I thought I'd show you.

Courtney, Take a look at the negatives. If you see the double image there and you did not do something with your camera yourself that would cause this, then have your camera looked at by a competent repair shop. It means that the shutter is cocking without advancing the film inside the camera, causing you to take two photos on the same frame. You may have a button on your camera, depending on the make and model that allows you to do this manually, so check that out first. You may have done this accidentally. Did it happen on more than one frame?
