Re: [Digital BW] film development for scanning

2011-06-02 by MICHAEL KIRWAN

Sandy King published a great article in View Camera magazine on this very topic. 
He recommends using a divided developer, first bath D-23 second bath 10% 
solution of Kodalk. This has become my standard when scanning, works great on 
TMX-100, FP4+ and Acros - 4 minutes in each bath; the other benefit is box 
speed.

Hope this helps

Mike

Subject: [Digital BW] film development for scanning

  
I am planning on taking a 4x5 with me on a trip. It will be the first time I 
will intentionally shoot with scanning in mind. Is it best to basically shoot 
and develop at a N-1 to get all the tones and use curves to adjust for printing? 
thanks Dan
