Film Development Times (summary)
Rules of thumb
The table below suggests how to select film exposure index (relative to box-speed) and adapt film development time (relative to datasheet) given an expected subject brightness range (SBR).[1]
| SBR | EI | Time |
|---|---|---|
| L | - | - |
| N | -2/3 | -15% |
| H | -1 1/3 | -30% |
The table below suggests how to adjust film development to accomplish N+/- development.
| N-1 | -15% < N-1 < -25% |
|---|---|
| N+1 | +25% < N+1 < +40% |

XTOL sägs ge bättre skuggteckning, samt att den håller ner högdagrar något. Lämpar sig bra för motiv som är “direktbelysta” (enl Thomas Bertilssen - photrio) https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/xtol-vs-rodinal.120246/#post-1593351
