Looking at it he said: "There is grain". And all the others said "Yes, there is grain". Note that one may wonder why Kodak pays guys to discover there is grain in a film but it's another question. Latter, obviously, a guy, nobody really knows if it is the same or another, looked at a film developed in Xtol 1+1. He said "There is MORE grain". So the documents writer took note: "There is more grain with 1+1 dilution". Amen. Another day, or maybe in another place a guy tried Xtol at 1+3. After that, he took a microscope and looked at the film. "Hummm! There is MORE grain". As Mark and other trusty Luggers says that 1+3 makes less grain, one can reasonably tell "There is more grain but less more grain". But there was no Lugger at Kodak's so the writer wrote "There is more grain with 1+3". Amen again. But is less more grain less or more grain than grain? Who knows. - -- Jean-Claude Berger (jcberger@jcberger.com) Systems and RDBMS consultant (MCSE) Lyon, France http://www.jcberger.com > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Julian > Thomas > Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2000 1:28 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] (Xtol) Why 1+3 dilution ? > > > Like you, Jean-Claude, I'm often perplexed by the descriptions Kodak give > for this!!
