Interesting questions, Paul. Answering in reverse order: POP or std - The paper requires standard development processing, you cannot just watch the image form as it is exposed to light (POP). The happy thing is that it works with standard paper development chemistry and processing techniques.

Interesting.  Is the paper that contrasty or is that the way you chose to post process the digital version.  Can that paper also be used as POP or does it require the standard development process? -p On 6/21/2021 10:17 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: My experiment with Ilford Harmann Direct
