Response to Di-Xactol developer

Hey, Wolfram, your info is really great !! Where did you get all that from ? I really find it interesting, although I din't like the part where the test species dies (especially if I am the species in question)... Well, I will use my gloves and mask more frequently now, I will be a good boy. About the advantages of the one bath development, I have to admit that I also experienced some development unevenness when using the two bath option. On the other hand, the two bath development offers superb control on the highlight density, being the "ultimate" compenstation development. Combining a staining developer (that offers fine grain) and two bath development seems to me like being a perfect combination (that is the reason why this specefic chemical interests me a lot). If I wanted to use a single bath developer, I would probably use something else (like PMK, for instance). About the unevenness now, I have tried the DiXactol (two bath) diluted with water from the tap, but I have a complicated deionizer filter systed installed, that cleans out most of the crap in the water. What I might try to do next, is use simle distilled water and a new developing tank (because it seems that chemicals left on the inside of the takn might affect the DiXactol). If you have any other ideas, please share them with me.
