Shannon, I must be blind because I don't see which images have the scratches. However, when I used to shoot 35mm I would sometimes get random scratches as you describe, usually spanning several frames, then several clean ones, then several scratched ones, etc...... I had my cam serviced in an attempt to remedy it, the service person told me the scratches were occuring during the film rewind action. So I wonder whether it isn't something inside your camera, rather than w/your processing, that might be the culprit.
