Hi Komtanoo

I'm sorry that you have been having such problems.  The blemishes on  
your Walgreen film could be from the developing machine and its  
environment.  There might be too much dust in the air or foreign  
bodies in the solutions.  The straight lines are certainly machine- 
type scratches, but whether they are in your camera or the machine I  
could not tell.  If you have not had such scratches before it is  
probably the developing machine.

The colour cast could arise in your scanning process.  Perhaps your  
scanner is not set up properly, but the cast can soon be rectified  
with a suitable application such as Photoshop Elements or Picture  
Window Pro.

Good luck and Happy Christmas

Chris
