Re:Tri-x/HC110 user needs a change

2002-08-05 by Jon Zax

Although I mostly use Plus-X I have tried this with Tri-X with good 
results as far as "smoother" apparent grain.

Develop in FG-7 1:15 but instead of water use a 9% solution of Sodium 
Sulfite. I would have to look at my notes for developing times.

I would also comment that  All the scanning processes I've tried do tend 
to accentuate the grain of films, and I've tried quite a few, I currently
own a SS4000 and an Optronics Drum Scanner.

Any developing scheme that reduces aparent grain is useful if that is 
the desired outcome. Limiting density of the neg. helps capturing highlight
detail, but too flat and/ or thin a neg will cause furthur exageration 
of apparent grain in a scan.
