I find from Anchell's "Darkroom Cookbook" a formula called "Crawley's FX-1."
It is listed under high-definition film developer. Has anyone had experience
using this developer? It says that this developer results in a "soot and
chalk" tonal scale. Could someone explain what that means?

Also, I have someone mentioned the FX-2 developer? Does anyone have the
formula to that? Is it related to FX-1 or is it just another developer which
happens to have similar name?

Thanks in advance!
