Thanks, Jim. It's going to break 100F here in Arizona today or tomorrow, so darkroom projects are definitely in order for the next few months. I'm anxious to get started.

Yes, there's no processing difference between diXactol & diXactol Ultra. And sorry, I do not know of any other information source. I liked what I read in Edge of Darkness and started experimenting with Barry's various developers and comparing the results with what I was using, which was, Rodinal, Xtol, D76 1:x, Windisch, Buetler, etc. I found that Barry's diXactol formula was both very easy to use and allowed me a greater degree of freedom (allowed me to make mistakes and easily recover). One thing that I would warn about is that under exposure cannot be fixed! diXactol is very overexposure tolerant and underexposure intolerant, so always err on the side of more exposure. Pretty much like any compensating development process. If you are going to underexpose (push) your film, you need to use a developer that is formulated to dig out every photon hit Ag halide molecule. Such as Accufine.The other Barry book that I have, and really like, is 'Elements'. Jim
