Ernst,

Not what I 'd call "staining" of the emulsion but differences more in 
terms of a exploiting a developer's specific characteristics of 
acctuance, grain or speed etc; and actual neg development in terms of 
density and contrast to produce a neg that works for your scanner but 
may not possess the preferred qualities that you might desire if it 
were destined for the enlarger instead.
