As to cutting, use a good pair of scissors and learn to cut at 90 degrees. I find that a good flat, clean surface works well. A good example would be a slide viewer which also aids in finding the frames.

The problem is the space between the (M3) frames is sometimes very very tight. I've found a pair of scissors that does the job properly 98% of the time, but still I occasionally truncate a frame. The problem is worse when the shots were in very low light and the negative has close to no density. Not only am I uncertain of my blade's precision, but also I can't easily find where the edge of the frame would be. Does anybody have a suggestion, such as a brand of scissors, other types of cutters, or anything else? (Please don't tell me Photoshop cuts real nice between frames, I need things in my life I cant 'save a copy as...') Thanks.
