darkslides - which side do you use first?

[pellicle]

Hi

I've developed that habit of having white showing for unexposed, and replacing with slide with the black showing for exposed. I know it doesn't matter really, but I just wondered if I had happened upon doing it the same way as others?

[argus]

I do it that way, but I'm sure others do it the other way around.

white: can see the light
black: can't see the light no more.

I was under the impression that White = unexposed, Black = exposed was a universally accepted method. I would hate to be sharing holders with anyone who did it the other way around.

White = Ready for light
Dark = Ready for darkroom

White for unexposed, black for exposed is pretty standard.

Well - I always had trouble remembering which side should be for what until I wrote on the white side the word "exposed" - so I do the opposite of most and black to me means the film is still dark and white means it's had light hit it - plus having the word"exposed" written on the white side helps me remember - haven't made a mistake with the film since I adopted this method.

Yes.

That's the way I do it.

But there are people who routinely write with their left hand, drink warm beer, or drive on the wrong side of the road, so I suppose the other way works also.
