Yeah- if you don't have a flat bottomed tray, a sheet of glass, with the edges ground for safety, that fits inside the tray works just as well.

  Hello Marc,

  I develop large film (emulsion up) one sheet at a time, in trays. A flat (without ribs) tray is preferable for use with developer. I've found that constant agitation in the developer, using alternating side-to-side and front-to-back rocking motions, provides even results. Use an oversize tray to avoid uneven density at the film edges. I use a wide range of developers, depending on the film being used and desired results. Your 'standard' developer should work fine with larger formats.
