Ryuji,
It's OK, I was only giving some historical background in answer to
Richard's post, not extolling Atomal's virtues. As far as my original
question goes, I would just like to satisfy my curiosity. I'm
definitely not expecting to produce anything to match a
well-formulated modern developer, and wouldn't even think of trying.
Part of my curiosity is 'I wonder if anyone still makes N-hydroxyethyl
o-aminophenol these days?'.
I think that if I wanted to do serious investigations, and if I was
capable of doing them, I would look at some of the recent colour
developers as well. The aim would be to optimise the film/developer
combination for scanning, tailoring it for the limitations and
benefits of the scanning process and the capabilities of digital
post-processing. In sixty years somebody will say "Still photographers
had little idea about film as an origination medium for digital
intermediate processes back then; it's a wonder that film survived."
Maybe I should have added to my brief history something along the
lines of: "Though introduced in about 1935, N-hydroxyethyl
o-aminophenol is rarely mentioned in literature on developing agents.
There's likely to be a good reason for this."
Best,
Helen
