Value of money and cost of technology

to a screen something B&W prints can't have done to them.

you always do a whoosh when you fail to understand things don't you. The whole idea of making the slides was to show how it is done, and how the reversal process works, you need that for slides.

Have you ever done solorization in a darkroom, yes I've done that too it re qures yuo to switch on the main lights whole the paper is still in the deve lopment stage , but I've only done it in B&W, colour is possible would be f ar to difficult/expensive in a school lab/darkroom.

whoosh indicates the whooshed has missed the point

I preferred other techniques. I liked push processing, especially to the po int where the textures eats a fair amount of the available print dynamic ra nge & whites are whited out. Reminds me a little of the old error diffusion style used on win 3 era computers.

Me too as I was only really interested in astro photography, I started with HP3 pushing that up to 800asa couldn't seem to go much higher before it se emed to 'fog' Then HP4 came out which was much better I got that up to 1600 not much successes getting it higher though, I used acuuspeed by patterson ar about 24C IIRC. I never really liked tri-X or kodak B&W in general. I did try at higher temeratures but the emulsion started to come away from the 'film'. By the time HP5 and XP1 arrived I'd lost interest in push processing and as tro work and started doing other things like IR and multi exposures and wen t on to colour slideas and using Cibachrome for colour printing.

ailable print dynamic range & whites are whited out.

It also depended on the paper you printed it on, something we didn't have a choice in with slides.
