That can be used either full strength or further diluted 1:1. That is equivalent to diluting the concentrate 1:9. Kodak has times for several films using the greater dilution. I find times at 1:4 too short for many films. The more diluted version increases development time about 1.5X so will give more uniform results in some cases. --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
