Developer by the gallon<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. As a youth, I bought an old chemical balance and a whack of Kodak chemicals to make my own developers, stop bath, and fixer bath. Later on I bought ready-made Kodak chemicals like D-76 for developing negatives and DEKTOL to print.<\/p>\n

“When colour came calling, I tried various packages and processes. It soon became obvious that unlike B&W, the best you could do with colour was expose and develop it correctly – no fussing around to fix exposure boo-boos, create more contrast or less, focus in on highlights, or shadows, etc. Colour was left to the one hour photo shops.<\/p>\n

\nPlease pass on to anyone I may have missed.”<\/p>\n
