Ilford MGIV & Warmtone (MGWT), a discussion...

[Sal Santamaura]

...Since Rodinal results in coarse grained negatives, and considering that it's fine grain which gives images warm tonality, has anyone tried developing MGWT FB in Rodinal to cool it? I won't be printing for a while, but plan to give that combination a test drive for the fun of it next time our bathroom becomes a temporary darkroom.

Increasing ambient temperatures here (air and water) are right on the cusp of ending my ability to print for the season, but I squeezed in one more session. MGWT FB thumbed its nose at Rodinal. Prints were just as warm as those from most other developers. Oh, well.
