The grayscale is shown using both dithered 1-bit graphics and a special manipulation of html table tags. To see the bottom part of the table as a smooth set of grays, you will have to be using a browser capable of rendering advanced table tags.

Context

The outline below is a document in progress. It is intended
to help analyze film test results. The first step, is always to
get the film speed nailed down for any target development

Calibrating film density to paper exposure range

chau — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 07:07:56 -0600

This page will turn into a complete chapter at some point. This material augments the rest of the chapter. It is not necesary to test you paperr before proceeding before testing film, but there are advantages to doing so. If you do not test paper, just use the commonly recommended densities for your targeted normal density.

The following snippet of a question is from a reader:

Hints and tips to help expedite results

It is easiest to start by testing for N-1 development and film speed than it is to start by testing for Normal development and film speed. After N-1, test for Normal, then N+1, then N+2.

Use one-shot developers. Some developers aren't formally designated asa 1-shot developers but work well that way.

Use fresh chemicals

Miscellaneous notes about film tests

Film tests should be done for each particular
film development that you desire to use. A sort of standard set of film developments is N+2, N+1, N, N-1, N-2. For each of these film developments, a set of tests should be done. The procedure is as follows:

Getting Down to particulars

Sometimes one of the stumbling blocks for beginning or continuing a series of film tests is choosing the appropriate exposure to use for the next test. You may use the form below to help set up the sequence of exposure for a film test.
