Response to "creamy" skin tones?

from Wayne (wsteffen@skypoint.com)
Hmmm. So, if I want creamy skin tones all i need to do is remember

use Verichrome in Xtol and Rodinal. put a yellow or yellow-green filter on the lens use Tri-X dont use Tri-x use Delta 100 quality of light more than film and developer Harvey's 777 use Ilford XP-2 Super. use T-Max 100 - PMK use Delta films, Acros and TMX use larger format go DIGITAL use TX in stock D-76d use good makeup, good lighting, and a red sensitive film

I've seen creamy skin from HP5+ Nobody mentioned a red filter, so i will.

I even got creamy skin tones with FP4+ in Xtol once. However, that negative printed vastly different and at times very un-creamily depending on what paper and developer combination I used. I finally settled on Forte PWT+ with a glycin developer. But thats another confusing thread. I believe Sturges uses Tri-X in HC-110, in 8x10, on Oriental Warmtone when it was available
