Response to PMKPyro compensation - What problem am I looking for ?

from doug mcfarland (junquemail222@yahoo.com)
Thanks Claudio - The problem I face is holding shadow detail while compressing N-1 to N-2. I often find that at these levels of compression the shadow details also compress too far for my style of photography (even with over exposure to compensate for the compression). Compensation on the other hand allows me to compress the contrast N-1 to N-2 while not compromising (as much) shadow detail.

PMK Pyro is not recommended for compensation process development because you normally have long periods of time while not agitating the developer. It is reported that this will cause some uneven development or staining. It's this uneven development that I question since I'm not seeing it.

I'm quite happy that, for some unknown reason, I don't see it :-)
