Aha, another Hypo sniffer eh? You could always leave a bottle open next to the keyboard, turn off all the lights and put a red filter over the screen.

The stuff I use is ODOURLESS, either that or I have a very blocked nose.

I do have an inkjet printer, a D-SLR (cough, spit!) and Adobe Photoshop CS2, along with some plug ins. The printer is `profiled` too, but I much prefer the traditional silver papers for B&W prints and I`m not ready to join the `inkies` where B&W is concerned.

Yes, I agree that DI is an awesome imaging medium.

Cheers.

That can be fatal. I once muddled up measuring cylinders of odourless chemicals, couldn't sniff any difference between them, made what I thought was the right guess and ruined 2 120 films.

Hello Steve,

My chemical graduates are marked for easy identification, so no problems there.
Thanks for replying.
Cheers.

Perhaps a light meter setting of ISO 80 and a slight pull of development in future should do the trick.
I don't have a 4x5 enlarger, so commercial enlargements for the time until I find an enlarger for a bargain price.

I agree a cut in dev time would correct the problem so that you retain the shadow detail without cloging the highlight areas.
