Re: Making sense of film curve graphs

I'm not sure again... Because the original intention wasn't to lower
contrast at all. It was something else (increase shadow detail with a plus
of pseudo speed gain). Maybe we should kindly request the original poster to
make some trials: pre-exposure against post-exposure and see if the results
are different or similar?

Regards,
Loris.

That brings us back to the discussion point FLASHING:
Kodak claims the following:
Flashing Camera Films. Flashing camera films to lower contrast is a
technique , that involves the application of a uniform exposure to a film
before processing to lower overall contrast of some color films. It is
actually an intentional light fogging of the film. You can make the flashing
exposure before or after the subject exposure.
So, if it works "with some color films" AFTER exposure, it should work with
B&W paper after exposure, too ?
