mixing D-76

Most photographers use D-76 at a ratio of one part water to one part developer. The diluted developer is an aid to producing thinner negatives. Because today's paper does not have as much silver in it as older papers did, thinner negatives print more easily. D-76 should be mixed at 125 degrees as directed by Kodak. It is important to let the developer sit overnight so the chemicals can jell. If you have to use D-76 right away, wait one hour if possible.
