Or is this an unnecessary exercise, and just have film go directly into developer, what say you...

I prefer thinking it as removing any particular gender association from itGreat-- not only are we now anthropomorphizing the concept of soaking vs. not soaking, now we're sexualizing it.
I've found that processing Tmax films the secret to the un-purple is thorough fixing followed by good old Kodak Hypo Clearing Agent for at least 2 minutes, wash well.
Hello Team,
Is is wise to have water bath pre soak, I heard it can remove the pink cast with Tmax.

Thanks for your feedback on this.

Few manufacturers recommend presoaking their films before adding the developer. Rollei is one exception: the IR 400 film must be presoaked for 3-5 minutes before the developer, or you will get loads of tiny pinholes in the images.
The Jobos are SO GREAT for fixing the modern Tmax,Delta films.I don't use a HCA step but do use 2-bath fixing that works well. 4 minutes in each bath in the Jobo.
What happens to the dye in a commercial processing operation?? Minilabs that process color films don't need to worry about the dye. I've found that processing Tmax films the secret to the un-purple is thorough fixing followed by good old Kodak Hypo Clearing Agent for at least 2 minutes, wash well.
I have always processed color films with a pre wash, mainly to insure consistent temperature.
What happens to the dye? Is it neutralized? Converted? Washed away??

And if you use stop bath with film, all bets are off!If you put paper under your grain magnifier then you should presoak. Conversely, if you don't then you shouldn't.
