I standardized on certain films and developers and process so that I can be more creative with the photo. If I have process control, I can normally look at a scene and have an idea how it will look in a finsihed print. To me, this approach increases the chances of a good end product and fewer unpleasant surprises in the darkroom. Sincerely, Joe Stephenson ++++++++++++++++ Mark wrote: Dr. Hubert and Mr. Erwin, I used to always hear "standardize" from people who always used the same 400 film for everything. I didn't agree with that approach to great artistic or commercial photography. I wouldn't think youse would either. So what would "standardize" mean to you? If this is a key to great work anyone would be extremely interested. Sin/cerely, Mark Rabiner
