Hi, everyone.
I came across an issue of the Jobo Quarterly that features an article by Chuck Farmer where he discusses developing film with pyro in the Jobo tubes:
http://www.jobo-usa.com/images/archive/JQ6.pdf
He writes about using the used pyro solution after the film has been fixed to restain the film:
"After the fix, dump the saved Pyro developer back into the drum for two minutes or so. Even though the developer is completely oxidized, it will re-stain the film in proportion to what the fix removed. I like a fairly heavy stain because it will mask any sign of grain even in a very large print. Stain can be add by lengthening the re-staining time or be removed to taste by a soaking in hypo clearing agent."
Does anyone do restaining with their pyro developer? Does it do as Farmer suggests - mask any sign of grain?
