In actual practice, there seemed to almost no effect at all. Of course I was letting a pro lab do my dev/printing with the T400CN and I did my own with TX, but I swear I could put my dark red filter on and not get nearly the darkening of the blue sky that GeeBee shows in his wonderful landscapes. Actually, I'm happier now with traditional silver film and the darkroom anyway, but it still aggravates me as to why this effect was not as it should have been with the chromogenics in my hands. JB
