Placing Seals Between Frames

Newton’s rings (a radial interference pattern) may appear when you scan film that has been bent out of shape or otherwise distorted. When scanning film that has been folded or twisted, attach seals to the emulsion surface of the film between all frames but the first and second, and then place the film on the masking sheet emulsion side down (shiny surface up). Seals can be reused.
