I love Kodak:

See if this makes sense to you. You find this explained in numerous books, dealing with photographic sensitometry. However, as Richard says, CI is a Kodak term. Ilford uses their implementaion of the average gradient method. All are slightly different but roughly comparable in trend.

In layman's terms please: The CI or Contrast Index that is listed on the film developing charts I'm starting to read (heaven help us) means what? Is it measured from 0 to 1? 1 being a lot of contrast, 0 being very little?

Most of Kodak's films in shot .56 or so alongside their recommended development times. Is this an indication of whether this development is intended for diffused or condensed light?

A lot for a Friday night...

Thanks,

Elias
