stephen_willard Posted January 4, 1999 Share Posted January 4, 1999 Can you do N-1 development with C-41 chemistry? I am using the JOBO CPP-2 processor with the 3010 drum to process my 4x5 color negatives.Recently, I forgot to preheat my drum before processing negatives for a portrait. This lowered my processing temperature. When I examined the negatives I found the following: <p> 1. There was no color shifts. <p> 2. The density of the shadow areas were not effected. <p> 3. The density of the highlight areas were significantly reduced. <p> 4. I was still able to make acceptable prints from the negatives although they were flat do to the lack of contrast. <p> All of this seems to imply that contracted devlopment can be done with C-41 processing. Most publications and experts say no. I have read in a few places that say yes - by altering the development times. In my case the temperatures were changed.
