adrian_seward Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 So what is the difference? I see that TX is not available in sheet film-- only TXP. Is there a noticeable difference? I like to push TX. How does TXP respond to Diafine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen hazelton Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 One of the pro films, think it was TriX pro, has a retouching surface on back side of the film, which is pretty pointless for most of us these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pics Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 TXP has very brilliant highlights and somewhat compressed shadow detail. I believe it was developed more for studio lighting and advertising shots where all the aspects of lighting are controlled. When used for landscape or general purposes I found it had a tendancy towards blown highlights and murky shadows but I didn't shoot very many rolls of the stuff so maybe someone else has some tips. I have a couple rolls of it left in 120 but I'm wary of ruining shots with it. Depending on what your intentions are there might be a better alternative.

arraga Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I have no experience with TXP, but some with TX and reading film curves. From the published film curves for both films, TXP has a longer toe than TX, giving less contrast in the shadows. It also has a more defined shoulder earlier in the logexp range, making highlight placement critical to avoid blocked up highlights. This fits in neatly with the theory that TXP is targeted to studio shoots and/or large and medium format careful exposures, in situtaion where flare is controlled (hence no need to separate shadows early), and accurate exposure is a given.
