    Re: Old Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner

    Thanks very much Bill, I believe the Hamrick option carries a monthly fee, I only scan for social media use, never make D prints so the fee aspect is a no go. Appreciate your feedback, SS

  9. Re: Some pages from "The Book of Pyro" about developing with Pyro.

    Uneven development is almost always agitation related, particularly the beginning agitation, it should be vigorous. I use PyroCat HD in the highest risk type of film development known, as you know. ...

  34. Re: How to do tray processing - both regular and stand?
