Small amounts won't hurt anything. We cross process about 1 per cent of
the film through our handline. Just be sure you are not processing that
RGB type film from Seattle Filmworks or the like. The Jet backing comes
off and screwes everything up.
Generally on the c-41 we do the photographer is overrating the film by
one or two stops (shooting 100 iso at 25) and overprocessing by one
stop.
