Not about the diy (but good tutorial) what did that poor friend do to be cut out of the photo lol .

I feel like this tutorial should include that the only way you can do this is with expired film, and not bad shots. Once a photo is shot, the rollers on the camera press the chemicals into the upper film layer, so I was unable to do this with a failed photo, as the clear layer had the photo in it. Worked perfectly with some old film from 2018 though!
