Thanks for the input on brown toner questions everyone.(posted 8735 days ago)Although XTOL is my developer for almost everything now, I am playing with PMK on the films that I use and just started to experiment. I have started testing with TX because I know it so well in a lot of developers. A couple of things that I have noted are
1. The curve shape seems way different in PMK for TX than anything I have ever seen
2. The fog seems to be much more using PMK so my printing time for max black has gone up.
3. PMK seems to make any lens flare at all really bad, I lose all contrast and have to print at grade 4. I have a lens that is really great except against the light where it flares a little. With PMK this lens is useless in backlit situations.
Has anyone else seen the same kinds of things?
