Expose for the shadow and develop for your highlights... Yes, you will
need to reduce your contrast, especially if you want to use your Jobo.
If D76 is your developer of choice, try 1:3 a dilution. Give plenty of
exposure and a shorter (possibly 4 min to 5 min) process. The film has
a good straight line, but without adequate preparations, you'll go too
contrasty. I'll be teaching an enlarged negative class at the Formulary
workshops in Montana this summer with prints including Platinum,
Cyanotype, Chyrsotypes.
I prefer Ilfotec HC at 1:47 with Delta 100 for that type of work.
Berger 200 might also be a good panchromatic choice as it tends to be a
bit flatter than delta. It is also available up to 20x24 so you don't
need to run more test if you like your results.

Subject: Usable negs from slides
I know you all may be tired of this subject but I need
some help. I need to make some negs from 35mm color
transparencies. Lith film is not cutting it with the
transparrencies, hopelessly contrasty. I have had
great success using polaroid 55p/n but this obviously
gets prohibitively expensive. I decided to try a
panchromatic sheet film so what I have is Ilford Delta
100 and D-76 developer. My questions are:
Should I expose and develop normally or do I need to
tweak it?
Are their any suggestions on ballpark exposure times?
Is their a reason to stand in the dark for 8 minutes
tray developing or should I use my Jobo?
Thanks for any and all input, I truly appreciate all
the info on this list.
