I and another LUGger have been testing D400 and the highlights can be beautifully controlled by using Xtol pseudo divided, ie dunk for about 2/3 to 3/4 the recommended time in your regular poison (Xtol straight or 1:1) then transfer without rinsing or stopping to a sodium metaborate, borax or sodium carbonate bath and let stand for 3 mins. Really sweet. Even works if you push it to 800 and 1600. - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
