Having issues with RA4 processing. Using expired Tetenal chemistry developer, 2% acetic acid stop bath, blix, and prints are coming out wildly underexposed. Shadows are slightly cyan, but this may be a problem with the exposure. Otherwise nothing is showing up. Has something gone bad, is expired chemistry useless? :blink:

Your prints are not under exposed but under developed. The reason is bad developer.

I will second a stale or over used developer. hence the cyan shadows and under development rather than under exposure.
