For eons I've used Tri-x (the 400 not the 320 pro) and HC110 dil B for 4.5 min in distilled water. Keeping the dev time low to prevent highlights blocking and making sure to give enough exposure in the shadows.I took up this 'formula' from Adams' The negative and Picker's book & newsletters. This has worked well for my silver prints. I've packed up my darkroom and now that I'm scanning my negs (for 1160 quadtone printing/MIS) I find the grain objectionable - it's not crisp and it's big. Any advice on adjusting my 'formula' or....a change ? I'm not too sure about changing to a chromogenic film as on occasion I may still want to have a silver print made. thanks Frank
