Re: Grain reduction

2004-01-26 by Jan Becket

Hope this isn't off-group, but here's another way to deal with the problem: go to a 
larger format film and use something like T-Max 100 or even Tech Pan.  I found 
developing T-Max in Pyro works great for scanning negs that may also need to be 
printed in the old wet way.  There is a huge grain difference between my 4X5 neg 
scans and the 6X9 ones I took on a trip this summer, and there is no way to make the 
6X9 ones look like the 4X5 ones, unfortunately.
