Explanation of negatives made in the very beginning of experimenting with the Semi-Stand method of film processing 11 years ago:
Two sheets of 7x17 FP 4 film identically exposed less than a minute apart. One of the sheets was tray processed in ABC Pyro for 24 minutes @ 1-1-1-7 which yielded a density of 1.79
The other sheet was processed using a Semi-Stand method, 5 minute presoak, 2 minutes initial agitation and 1 minute agitation @ 30 minutes in Pyrocat HD @ 1-1-175 in a large tank. Total development was 60 minutes, density of 1.33
Each negative was scanned on an Epson 750 scanner @ 600 DPI with emulsion facing up, opposite sides of the two separately processed negatives were stitched together via CS 4 with no manipulation or sharpening of any kind other that converting to grayscale.
Cheers !
