I processed my first TMAX Readyloads today. After taking off the metal clip from the bottom of a Readyload, I would slowly pulled out the negative. Each time, no matter how slowly I pulled, I would see flashes of static electricity. The same flashes would occur when I tore the top and bottom of the negatives at the serrated edges. My darkroom was relatively humid because water was constantly running through my Jobo. I have never seen similar flashes while unloading film holders.
I do not yet know if the flashes of electricity affected the negatives, but how could they not? Am I doing something wrong?
