Lake Garda, Polachrome - a photo on Flickriver

Lake Garda, Polachrome

            This is 30 years expired Polaroid instant slide film.

What looks like a shot from a TV screen are the colour filter stripes overlaid on the B/W instant slide film.
These stripes mess with my slide scanner and create those crazy moiré colour waves that are scanning artifacts.
I've tried different resloutions with no success - the interference happens with the CCD sensor of the scanner.

High Contrast Polachrome 35mm Instant Slide Film
HCP-135-12 ISO 40  EXP. AUG 93
Canon T90, FD 50mm F1.4, FD 17mm F4.0 
Shot as 8 ISO
Developed 4 minutes in Power Processor

Scanned with a Nikon Coolscan ED scanner

As with all instant slide films I have tried the negative emulsion sticks to the postitve instead of the  derveloper tape.
This time I've managed to get it off withourt scratching the film.
Immediately after developing I stuck the film to a brown packing tape.
When I pulled the tape off the negative stuck ot the packing tape EXCEPT WHERE THE IMAGES WERE.
This is probably because it was still wet with developer paste.
After letting the film dry overnigt I tried again to catch one end of the layer with clear office tape and not only did it come loose but I could pull the whole nagative layer off in one piece after taping one end.
Finally I have found way to remove the neg layer without scratching the delicate silver layer !
