bath to the first contact with the following bath or rinse.
Steps 0-2 to be carried out in complete darkness.
First Developer times must be adapted individually to suit the combination of deve-
loper machine, film make, speed of rotation and the proportion of film area to the
quantity of first developer.
Extended First Developer time (+ 25 %) = brighter slides by one stop (approx.), red-
uced (- 25 %) = darker slides by one stop (approx.)
Carry out rinses with running water or change water every 30 secs. or rinse over
longer periods.
