Underdeveloped portraits :-(

from Patric (jenspatric@mail.bip.net)
Hello!

I took some nice portraits with my Rolleiflex automat from 1938 (great camera!) and used Agfa APX 25, exposed at 12 Asa. I developed the film in Agfa 8, a very good glycin-based portrait developer, for 6 minutes, but the results came out underdeveloped since the developer was a little too cold. 18 C instead of 20 C. :-/

Now I have a couple of options:

1. Print on harder paper/use harder filtration.

2. Intensify the negatives in selenium toner.

3. Intensify the negatives in Kodak IN-5 silver intensifier.

What would you guys suggest? The negs are not that bad, so I think I rather listen to your comments before doing anything that maybe could destroy the nice portraits.
