I keep doing it and it works as easy as pie.

There must be something wrong... I understood this. You ok, Claire?

Anyone ever tried (as in has anyone ever even heard of it) latensifying while developing?
It could have advantages in that it works on sensitivity specks that is deep in the halide crystal.

You’d need a slow solvent developer or halide bleach developer for it to work well. As in you need total or close to total development.
Development would have to be take longer than reciprocity failure setting in, to not fog the film unduly.
And you you’d need to spray on the developer or do seesaw development under the latensifying light, or use a long open development tray. Cumbersome but certainly pretty easily doable as an experiment for single clipped frames.

Wow, that was quite a read. I would just stuff some Tri-X into the camera, develop it in D76/F76 Plus and call it a day.

Yeah. Why aspire to anything?
