Right!

Hope you wont be too annoyed with my many posts on this - Last one on cross processing and alternative techniques!

On the RFF London meet a few guys mentioned developing film in coffee - details?

And I also remember something about Aspirin??

PLEASE could you post any alternate film development techniques here, or link to other threads? If you've used an alternative formula could you give details, and maybe a pic?
This includes, b&w in different chemicals, and cross-processing E6 or C-41 in various concoctions.

I'll try to update this thread with other mixes, as I shall be taking a strip of flim, and dunking it in different liquids to see whether it, well, goes black to show it develops!

So far we know:
-C41 can be developed in traditional developer, but with a muddy layer and tone.
-E6 can be developed in traditional developer, but IF it comes out, it comes out as a dark yellow colour negative that becomes a light blue positive when scanned.


Thanks guys and gals.

I believe that there is a very recent caffinol thread over at APUG. It makes me jitter just thinking about it so I haven't paid much attention, but I think it was an experience-based (maybe even a success) posting.

Personally I'd be more interested reading an aspirin-ol thread... I have one heck of a headache from too much coffee this AM.

You shouldn't drink the coffee after developing film in it, you know.

Hi Ash,

Here's a link to a site with some trials of the coffee and vitamin C developers, and it also includes some links to other sites with further info on coffee etc as developers...

Nice, thanks peeps!

One more thing - DIY to stop neg scratching??? Got some AWFUL scratches from my kiev I just bought this weekend, and I guess its a baseplate problem? any ideas?

Aspirin developer? Well, paracetamol (the other headache reliever) can be used as base material to synthesise a rodinal-like developer.
