Anyone have experience?
I use PMK and split print VC. The stain acts like a highlight restrainer -
i.e. It reduces local contrast in the highlights.
This can be helpful when you're trying to hold a really long SBR. For
example, I have a neg that was shot in a barn with a window view into
a brightly lit scene. There is detail in barn shadow AND there is detail
in the window (if you burn long enough). Had I not used Pyro, I doubt
I could have held something like 15 stops of SBR. Naturally, I can only
get the paper to reproduce 5-6 stops of range, but the negative gives
me lots of choices of what to place where on the print.
