No. To alter contrast, you have to control the entire process. If you
underexpose and have the film developed normally, you'll get thin,
muddy negatives. If you overexpose and have the film developed
normally, you'll get blown highlights.

Through a wonderful book given to me by a wonderful PDML member I've

One aspect that I didn't fully understand before was the whole
underexpose/overdevelop thing. But I get it this time around.
My question is this, does that same principle apply if I have the
films machine developed. In other words, under- or overexpose but then
have the negs developed "normally?"
Thanks.
