RE: [Digital BW] Re: OT - controlling tech pan contrast

Andre,

Contrary to my original response, I found that I had done the comparisons
between Tmax 100 in Xtol and Tech Pan in Technidol (the results were on my
old computer).

I can't say whether one would see a major difference in an enlargement, but
the TP image quality was significantly better on the monitor when scanned
images of my standardized test targets were viewed.  The straighter curve of
TP in Technidol scanned better in my workflow, which includes scanning
negatives as positives.  The grain of TP was somewhat finer, but this is not
where the big difference was.  The resolution was about the same for the
scanned images.  However, the most noticeable difference was the sharpness
and clarity of the fine detail of the TP.

Paul,

Were you able to make those enlargment sizes with 100Tmx and Xtol ?

Cheers,
