Developing a slide-negative?

Hi all,
.
Recently I was on a holiday, and accidentally bought
slide-film. I put it in my regular camera and took the
whole bunch (36 pics) full. The local developer
developed the film into negatives, but said he couldn't
do anything else with it.
.
What to do? Is it possible to get the negatives into
ordinary photos, and if so, how? Or is it only possible
to develop them into slides?

What you have done accidentally, is a technique very much in vogue over the
past few years, with fashion and advertising photographers, called cross
processing.
I used this technique at university to try to emulate the still life
paintings of Henri Matisse, it gives vary garish colours with lots of
cyan's, magenta's and yellows.
What I would do is this, go back to your local developer and complain, he
should have spotted that it was a slide film and processed it as such, he
probably wont compensate you so ask him to print it as he might any other
print type film.However the photo's that will come out will be far from
ordinary.
No cross processing here but maybe I should put some up in the future

A photograph is not only an image (as a painting is an image), an
interpretation of the real; it is also a trace, something directly
stencilled off the real, like a footprint or a death -- Susan Sontag.

I don't know anything about color pallets, but perhaps one of our
digital folks could help you out here? They can scan film into their
computer and play all sorts of games with the color pallet. Whether
they can precisely undo the damage or not is something that I don't
know.
In particular, there is a lady here named Shantel Palmer who has
done some wild things and talked about them here. I have no idea
whether she'd want to charge for the work or perhaps she may be
interested in receiving some cross-processed film in order to experiment
with alternative processes?

One other thing: your photo lab was sloppy. Perhaps you
misdirected them by telling the clerk "Here is some film"; but, truly,
the person who actually did the work should've noticed it before they
opened the cannister.
I assume (though I've never operated a minilab machine myself) that
modern processing machines read the DX coding on the cannister and
refuse to go any further in case of conflict. If the operator overruled
the machine in such a case, that would be even worse.

Same thing happened to me. I had scanned them and did some color
correction. As a result I obtained one or two interesting shots. But the
others are right, they will be freaky looking. I would go back to the
shop and have them make free prints for you. good luck!
