  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.
