EXTENDED DYNAMIC RANGE PROCESSING

Abstract

Four Kodak films - Pan-X, Plus-X, Tri-X, and High-Speed Infrared - were exposed to slit images (1.7 x 14 mm) over a range of 10,000 E. Samples were developed in D-19 and D-76 for high- and low-contrast control and in three Tech/Ops extended dynamic range (XDR) developers - E-20A, E-20B, and Type IV. Subsequent analyses showed that the XDR developers produce lower granularity than the control developers and thus greatly reduce the apparent flare and increase detectivity, even at low density and gamma.
