Re: tube development and scratches

There is no reason to ensure the developer soaks both sides of the film.
Just put the film in the tube without the screen. If you are wanting to be
dilligent, wash the film in a tray to remove the anti-halation dye from the
back first. Then use the tube. I did the same, but in the end find tray
developing is easier and since I develop by inspection, tube development is
a bore.
