Does anyone have experience using Pyrocat-HD for negatives intended for both alternative and silver processes? I've been using WD2D+ so far, but I find myself more drawn to the look that people have gotten from Pyrocat-HD (and even PMK) instead.
All information appreciated!
Thanks!

The negatives I developed in Pyrocat HD to be printed on Azo I made quite dense and contrasty (similar to what would be needed for many Alt Proc.). Those negatives print well on my Kentmere Graded papers but they can be quite difficult to get just right. I'd say error on the side of the Alt stuff because if worse comes to worse you can print just about anything using multi grade silver paper. Just my thoughts, I'm sure there are those who are far more experienced with such things on APUG. Best. Shawn
