The title says it all really! I was at a local circuit, and despite shooting *almost* exclusively with B&W I had a colour film in the bag (Kodak Gold 200) and that went into the camera... and in all the excitement I didn't click until I removed the film that I still had a yellow filter on 
So now I have an exposed colour film which will have a yellow cast (to put it mildly!)
I'm guessing I can process it and digitise and convert the output to grayscale, and I'm assuming there is no way to restore it to colour 
Any suggestions? I'm reluctant to discard the film due to it's content
Thanks,
Smudge (now retiring embarrased!!)

Post the results! Sorry, not too sure what you can do, maybe contact the lab you have it processed at and see if they can dial in more cyan to counteract it? I'm sure they'll be able to do something, a lot of them do colour matching.

All you can do is fiddle with the colour balance, boost the cyan/magenta, but you're unlikely to get it looking exactly as you want it. The B&W idea sounds good.
Can you post some examples?

If you're going to scan them in............just use photoshop filter adjustments and see if you can get one that cancels your yellow tinge.
simple really! *grin*

Thanks Chaps (and chapessess!) I'll get it processed and see how (bad) it looks;)
Oh and I may even post the results (and blush some more )

It MAY just be possible to recover the film although there is no guarantee it will be as good as without the filter.
If it can be scanned to a hardrive then using something like Photoshop go to the 'de-saturate' channel click on yellow in the drop down menue and desaturate until it is something like it should be.
As I said there is no guarantee but worth a try.

We seem not to know the end to this story.
However, the filter will have, in effect, reduced the speed of the film by the filter factor (2-3 stops?). This would have given underexposure via an external meter but should have been OK if metered through the lens.

And the OP was last here on 4th August 2006 and so I guess he'd never see Shaky's reply...
