I'm using a HP photosmart scanner to save some 20 year old slides to disk.
These slides appear to be in perfect condition to the eye and still project
a sharp image, but look terrrible after they have been scanned. I've scanned
some newer slides and they look good, so I dont think ...

Aside from equipment (color head, analyzer, processing kit), what are the
procedural hassles of printing in color?  I likely would let the labs
continue to process my film and print me an index sheet (about $4 per 36
roll of print film)

I'm doing developer tests with Efke 100, and I'm having one hell of a time
trying to get a dense enough negative. So far, I've gotten semi-decent results
with D-76, Rodinal and Microdol-X, but have had to use very long development
times: tonight, for instance, the best I got was ...

I've developed Ilford Delta 100 at 100 ISO in XTOL full strength for 8
mins, agitation 5 secs every 30 secs. Subjects were trees and snow,
light was spot-measured on trees and a few underexposure applied.
Result: very dark negative, it seems very overdeveloped. Any similar

I have started a phography course where I will be developing my own B&W
films.
I was wondering what equipment and what the costs of doing this at home
would be?

I am finally decided and started building the darkroom in my laundry.
During a light-tight check I have noticed that the neon tubes that I use
for the illumination of the room is still visible for a while even
without power.

In the past, before a long dry period, I used those almost cubic bottles of
HC-110 (I did not mix a stock solution - always concentrated -> working).
I remember it had a characteristic smell - kind of rotten (sulfur?).
Nowadays, no more.

Freestyle Photo just started marketing a new brand of film, Arista.Edu
(apparently, "Arista for Educational Institutions"). The only info about its
origins is that it's made in Hungary. Can anyone name a Hungarian film
manufacturer which might be the actual source of these ...

I just developed a couple of 6x7 negatives from a mamiya rb67 camera and
some of the frames have a very light shadow on the edge of the frame. There
is no detail in the shadow just a very light shadow along the left and right
sides of the image. It is not there on all frames. When ...

I have a half gallon of Xtol, which I'm sure, will not give proper
development because it was made up about 9 months ago. (It's still clear)
Is there any type of chemical that can be added to make sure of normal
development? I  would like to experiment but not sure how to start.
