How to develop over-exposed film
You must over-develop it. The common approach of reducing development
of over-exposed film leaves you with very low contrast and a poor-looking print. By over-developing it, you get some contrast back. True, the neg will be very dense, but the prints will have better contrast. |

This is the most useless and incorrect dreck you have posted to date!
Except that you were one of the worlds best printers...THAT one will stand the test of time as being the most incorrect statement to ever cross the bandwidth of the net! Over exposed and over developed negs actually REDUCE contrast and if you knew anything about B&W, you would know that. Sheesh, try and get SOMETHING right once in a while. BTW, I'm STILL waiting for that print you promised about 3 months ago to show your "talent". Guess we both know you have none. |

Longer development means greater contrast. Overexposure causes loss of contrast. Increasing development of overexposed negatives will offer better contrast than underdevelopment of overexposed negatives. Try it and see. |

The question is what can you do with an overexposed negative to get the
most contrast (assuming that's what is needed): 1. Under-develop it 2. Develop it normally 3. Over-develop it Answer: 3 |

But you get to the point, very quickly, that the increased dev. benefit doesn't work, and in fact decreases your contrast. With over exposed negs the best is to pull it a little...how much depends on how over it is. Next is continue with normal development. Worst is your suggestion. Now THOSE are facts, and I've got several hundred thousand rolls of development under my belt to back it up. |
