And as long as we are on the subject, why be obsessively
technical and avoid the use of contrast control altogether as Terry King
has mentioned at length. It seems to me that perhaps the we are priding
ourselves on the fact that the patient may die but at least he goes down
the tubes in perfect metabolic condition . More specifically , it seems
reasonable to me that the aesthetics of the print and its content should
supercede the technique in expressing it. I would always prefer a handsome
print even though technically unperfected to a crappy one done well.
Food for thought!

Stephen, Then main problem with trying to create contrast lies in the obvious
"grain" that is created with the addition of any amount of solution B. Your
right about whatever works for the image is the way to go. I for one am no
fan of the Ansel Adams school of photgraphy...but I do find the "grain" to be
a problem and am looking for a way to increase the contrast without it.
