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. J.Z.
