Re: Pyro Development for Negatives to be Scanned

2003-08-05 by B. Alex Pettit Jr.

I have been using Barry's Exactol Lux and Archivex fixer with Tmax100.
The Exactol Lux is a mild staining and sharpening developer.

In looking at the emulsion side of the film at an angle, the
ExactolLux processed film shows a very strong BasRelief in comparison
to TmaxRS developer- the 'on film sharpening' effect. It scans well in
my SprintScan 45.

Consider Barry's book Elements of Transition - good ideas on film
processing, scanning, a few Photoshop tweaks and Piezo printing.

Best,
Alex
