Question about ferricyanide

[dehk]

Over developed film lose apparent sharpness thats what I've been noticing. Now, ferricyanide / farmers reducer thins out the silver, will that improve the apparent sharpness?

 

[Ian Grant]

Not really because the over development kills the edge effects but it can help reduce the apparent graininess. The older advice was to bleach in a rehalogenating bleach, ferricyanide & Bromide, expose to light and redevelop in a finer grain developer by inspection.

Sounds very reasonable, thanks for the help!
