Response to Extreme grain in prints

from Paul Oosthoek (pauloosthoek@hotmail.com)
Conrad is, of course, completely correct in his answer. Grain in a 5X7 print from a 35 mm negative should not be extreme with Tri X. Nevertheless, Tri X will look considerably more grainy than the average colour print film. Overdevelopment will make the grain stand out more as well. By the way, grain is not bad per se. The effect of grain may be used for various purposes. Some photographers are very effective with this technique, quite unlike me...
