Not sure if this should be in the film processing thread or not, any advice is welcome
I have been shooting film on a Canon EOS for around 10 years and have generally had it processed in high street shops, and recently at my local ASDA. I have generally being using 200/400 film buying what ever I can find in the local shops ( in most cases Fuji). For Christmas I thought I would treat myself and get some Portra and Ilford XP2 for something a bit different, I got it processed at ASDA and after looking at the scans on the CD am a bit disappointed as to how the Ilford performed, and unsure if the error is with me, the processing of the film, or the film its self.
I need to get permission to post the full photos online but here are some crops taken from the scans to show what I mean

The first being a picture in the background

The second being the t-shirt of the subject of the photo.
While I should be able to edit out these in photoshop, any feedback would be welcome. None of these are consistant from photo to photo and I do not believe them to be due to dust on lens etc BTW the Portra film came out perfectly in comparison to this, with no signs of any of the issues I had with the Ilford.
