Hi everyone,
I've recently started getting this uneven yellow staining on my 7x17 negatives, with different films. Something is obviously going wrong somewhere but I can't figure this one out. One thing I should mention is I use the exact same regime with my 8x10 negs and havent seen any staining fwiw. I process in trays as follows: 3 minute presoak in plain water, development in Rodinal 1:50, 30 sec rinse in plain water, sodium thiosulfate fixer (i.e. plain hypo), permawash, etc. The staining is evident as soon as I turn on the lights. I've read that this might be dichroic fog from developer carrying over into the fixer, does that make sense? If so, will using an acidic stop instead of plain water help here? Is there any way to get rid of it? Will it show up in printing (given that it's yellow)? Thanks, here's one recent neg:
