You do know, Terry, that Photoshop 5 has a filter to ADD scratches. You
could save a bundle if you're getting them without....
So OK, maybe you're not interested -- that's not why I'm writing anyway. I
was going to comment that brush development is what I use on large lith
film (which is notoriously goosey), and encourage in students, who also
find it's better for large sheets when they can get past their inhibitions
& do it.
But I wondered, what "brush" do you use?
I also find, BTW, that the *speed* of the brushing is a big variable. For
less contrast, brush slower, and vice versa -- tho that may not matter so
much with regular contone film.
