Re: how purple does kodak stop get?

Hi Rob,

The time that the stop bath turned purple real fast on me was the time
I forgot to dilute the D76 stock developer solution with two parts
water. When the stop turned purple so quickly, I realized why that
session's prints were so contrasty... something to check, anyway.
