i wanna cross process a roll of kodak gold 400 in d76 anyone knows what times i should use.. oh and i mix 6oz water with 6oz d76
What do you expect to achieve by this?
I would just use the time for Tri-X as a start.
Or, you could use something like Diafine which recommends the same times
for most films.
The big question is still "what are you trying to accomplish?"
If you simply develop and fix a color neg or E-6 film in B&W chemicals you will not end up with printable negatives.
I think what is trying to be accomplished here is absolutely nothing. Ruined roll. Always wanted to try it out. Let's just see what the heck happens. Why not. Go for it. My signature on another forum says 'Oh, and . . . HAVE SOME FUN ALREADY'. I've started screwing around with stuff just to see what happens. I've spent a lot of time on the technical hook. For a while I'm embracing the nonsense. Can't do it, bull. I'm having fun. The magazine is going great. One of these days I'm gonna get around to printing. I love my family, my job and my life.
I'M HAVING FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides, if they're looking at me weird, I'm probably doing something right.
If you'll note the last paragraph in the "cross processing" section it states:
"C41 film can be processed in standard black and white chemicals, to produce a monochrome negative image. The negatives will typically be of very low contrast, and cloudy, partly caused by the orange mask."
The cloudiness they refer to is a result of the residual unremoved dye components in the unexposed portions of the image remaining in the emulsion. Simple fixing does not remove these effectively. The bleach step in the color process is the step that clears the uncoupled dyes; a step missing when using conventional B&W chemistry.
