This time I developed in D-52 1:1. Both prints were developed for three minutes. Both were on Ilford MG warmtone fiber. Except for image color both prints were identical in contrast and density. I was pretty surprised by that. I expected to have to adjust something. There is or was a Selectol Soft developer but that's not D-52. The "Darkroom Cookbook" lists another formula that is supposed to be close to Selectol Soft.
