green spots on my slide film :-(

I got my slide film back from the lab badly damaged - there are numerous
green dots on it. Is it the lab's fault or mine? Does anybody know a
website showing scans of film damaged by labs?

nothing you could have done to cause
green spots, its the labs fault.

Can you post examples?

Return to the lab and ask them. I've had slides return with thousands of tiny
black dots firmy attached .... and they were able to clean them w/o damage.

Cheers,
Alan

I was trekking in Iceland, it was raining all the time ;-), and the bag
with all my films got wet... But only one out of eight is damaged.

I don't think it would work in this case... I'll ask them, but I'm
affraid all I can get is a new film.
Thanks :-)

I'm sorry to say that numerous greed dots isn't enough information to help
you out. My first guess is that the film wasn't loaded properly and didn't
get fully developed. If that's the case, there is nothing to be done
regarding recovering the lost image. Labs probably limit their liability,
but you may ask for more than just the replacement film they generally offer.

Is it the lab's fault or mine? Does anybody know a
website showing scans of film damaged by labs?

Maybe it's time you started one?
