<p>p.s. I also used Diafine to process a roll of Kodachrome -- 24 years after it was exposed. The results were amazing. I did have to rub off the film backing while it was wet though. I barely expected to find an image, let alone one with so much detail and tone.<br>

<p>Stephen Schaub at figitalrevolution.com has some excellent info on Diafine with Acros and Tri-x, and if you search that site, you will also find a video on the proper agitation technique.<br>

<p>I tried it and had no problems with streaking. If I remember correctly, I added time to both part A and part B, and may even have used a presoak, though it's not recommended. (Sorry -- my notes are on a computer that's down at the moment.) I was very careful to agitate just the way he shows in the video.<br>

<p>I only used it with Tri-X. Stephen's site has all the info, and it's also a helpful site for film users / hybrid artists. Here's a link to the Diafine jump-off page:<br>

<p>I just took Matt's version and set the white point somewhere in the teeth, then faded back in color mode.<br>

<p>Thanks, Stuart. Comments like yours are one reason I usually won't bother participating in forums, but your post is especially mean. Why do you find that necessary, I wonder, and what have <em>you</em> created yourself, besides hurt feelings?<br>

Don't bother answering, because I won't participate in yet another online skirmish. Personally, I admire John Golden for getting out there and creating, experimenting and sharing work. I also found his post interesting and informational, and it inspires me to do some expermentation myself. I'm grateful that there are so many people who are generous enough to post their images and share their discoveries, successes and even their failures.<br>

Thanks, John. Nice work!</p>
