Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / December 2005Cooler than Dektol?
I think Freestyle is selling a liquid paper developer that they claim produced cooler, more neutral tones than Dektol. Does anyone have any idea what it is? -Lew > I think Freestyle is selling a liquid paper developer that they claim > produced cooler, more neutral tones than Dektol. Does anyone have any idea > what it is? > -Lew I have no idea what they use, but with some papers, D-72 with benzotriazole instead of KBr seems cooler to me. I assume you are speaking of image tone, and not status. ;-)  Signature.~.

Perhaps someone has Max Muirs formula handy ? I can't seem to find mine right off the top but I know I have it somewhere. SignatureRegards, John S.

Speak and you shall be heard: I was actually perusingAnchell's D.R.C.B looking for formula that might match the op's question,...Muir's Blue Black is a phenidone based developer. as written- Water=24oz@125 F Sodium Sulfite anhydrous=6oz Hydroquinone=1oz +336 grains 0r 53g Phenidone=32 grains or 2.2 g Benzotriazole=22 grains or 1.5 g Let cool to 75F then slowly add Sodium Hydroxide 1oz +73grains or 35g Top off to make 32 with water. Diluted 1:5 with water or 1:10-15 for less dramatic Blue. Develop for 2 minutes.

Whatever happened to MM? Learned quite a bit from him.

Learned quite a bit from him. I made several extensive attempts to contact him after his "Maximum Monochrome" stopped being published. I'm not totally certain but I connected with a family member who wouldn't exactly tell me where he was but I got the feeling that he's something of a snowbird and had left for a warmer climates. Omaha gets a little cool in the winter. Unfortunately he never returned any of my calls or emails. I was hoping to help him setup a domain to promote his newsletter which I found very interesting.
