newbie film developing problem

[sherwin aragona]

hello guys,
Iam new to film photography and have watched couple of vids from youtube about developing film.Recently I tried shooting with adox chs 100II and used kodak D-76 as developer.When I made the scan I was disappointed with the result.I don't know if its the developing time or fixing time was the problem or the film I was using.the image was so bright with lots and lots of noise on the photo.I attached one of the scan.hoping to hear from you guys.thanks in advance

If your reversed scan of the negative reflects the actual negative then that is atrocious but does it. You need to examine the negative under a loupe to see if it is this bright and grainy. If you have developed the film according to the instructions then I doubt if it is the negative. The solution to this "poor" negative may well lie in the hybrid area

We'd have to see an image of the negative itself to get a better idea if looks like a development problem. If you don't have a light table, hold it up to a brightly lit window and take a snap. Did you follow the manufacturer's recommended times and processes? Give us a summary of the times/temp/agitation and steps you followed.

Scanning presents a whole different set of possible problems, so check that your scanner settings are correct for B/W film. Turn off any DigitalICE or dust removal software, as this can read the film grain as dust, and try to correct for it.
