Turning bad photos into good photos

Every once in a while I get bad results from a roll of color film - this just happened.  Not sure what the problem was.  The solution is to turn the color image into Black and White.  Here’s an example

I just got the film back from TheDarkroom.com and it turns out that the film was RetroChrome.  By Rescanning I got much better results.


TheDarkroom.com has been my go to lab but they don’t put much effort into scanning to get the best out of your film if that film is exotic.  When I brought up with them the problems with Harman Phoenix ( overly saturated and hi contrast) their reply was pretty lackluster.  FilmPhotographyProject.com which sells a lot of exotic film recommends them but I would add the caveat that you must be prepared to scan your own negatives.
