Dilution
In photography, dilution most often refers to mixing a stock solution with water to a working solution. Dilutions are referred to as ratios, such as 1:1 or 1:3, with the stock solution first, then the dilutant.
Dilution
Is the reduction in the strength of a liquid by mixing it with an appropriate quantity of water.
-Dilution - reduction in the strength of a liquid by mixing it with an appropriate quantity of water.
-Dimensional stability - substance's ability to remain unchanging in size when subjected to processing and drying.
I prefer to make up a series of dilutions. Something like put down two drops of dye, move one drop an inch away (I just use a saucer and put the drops in a ring around the edge), dilute it with a drop or two of water, ...
A specific gravity check is one of the first tests to verify the dilution of a solution.
changing the development times, temperature, chemical dilution or using different developer chemicals provides the photographer a choice of a range of speeds for any given film.
Giving too short a developing time, using too low a temperature, too great a dilution or old or exhausted solutions. This results in insufficient density being built up.
color saturation
color strength. A measure of color purity, or dilution by a neutral.
The more open sky that exists above the subject, the more dilution will occur. While it can not be seen in Figure 6, this alcove is in a tight corner of a very narrow canyon with tall walls.
If Kodak brown toner is used, I recommend that it be used at a 1:10 dilution at about 27oC for a period of 15- 20 minutes. The concentration of bromide in the second developer can be about one- half of that used with selenium toner.
Change your temp/time, use a different dilution, try other solutions. TMAX is the most versital film i have found. If used properly you will be impresed with the results.
Fine-grain, "compensating" developers like Microphen, Microdol-X, and my all-time favorite, Promicrol, did the trick in reducing grain in those days and many of us had our own little secrets involving various mixtures and dilutions.
