I've been processing for decades, and have not seen this staining before. Tri-X Pan Pro 320 8x10 in LegacyPro EcoPro Ascorbic Acid Powder BW Film Developer (an X-Tol variation with no Metol or hydroquinone, borates and phosphates), times and temps are the same as X-Tol.
Film pushed 2 stops, and has a pale, streaky, tan stain on the emulsion side. Rotary tube processed. some of the staining even has what look like fine scratches through it. One sheet that was pushed 1 stop cleared the stain by refixing. Have not seen this on any of the roll films (TriX-Pan, Tmax 400, Aristo EDU 400, Kentmere 400), also pushed, both 35 and 120.
Using a non-hardening sodium thio fix (260g penta, 100g sodium sulfite, water to make a liter).
I'm open for suggestions, and wonder if anyone else has had this problem under any conditions, what they tried, and what worked.
Rare recent portraits of my 3 kids on an occasion when they were all in the same state. Go figure.
