When I develop TMAX 100, or rather, when I fix it, the film sometimes sticks to the side of the processing drum and has a faint blue color in a few spots. I'm guessing this happens because the fixer has trouble getting to the the backing a nd dissolving away the anti-halation layer. What's odd is that within seconds o f placing the negative into the wash, the blue intensifies significantly from an almost unnoticable hue to a reasonably significant shade. I usually end up put ting the film back into fixer, where the color disappears almost immediately, on ly to return (less intensely) when I put the negative in the wash. Can anyone o ut there tell me why this happens? It's not a critical problem, but it is becom ing a pain.
