Hi,
i have some questions about the pyrocat developer.
when mixing do i have to use alcohol to solve the phenidone?
I read it at the unblinking eye site, but on other sites i did not see it.
Second,
is it possible to use a fixer like amaloco X89 or does this create problems. I do not have the sodium thiosulfate at this time and would like to do some tests.
i did a test a came at:
Fuji across 100, rated at 100.
Pyrocat HD 1:1:100
18 minutes at 20 degrees celcius
agitate first minute, and after that once each 45 seconds.
What i want to to do to check this is:
------------------------------------
first find out the time that my enlarger creates black at a clear part of the neg at #2.
Put the stouffer card onto the photo paper.
develop, dry the photo and see if it has the whole range of grays.
If so, put in the neg with the gray card and see if this photo creates the same color as the gray card has.
