this may be a bit silly, but what exactly is the green dye that washes out of the rinse water during development of FomaPan?
Is it just dye, does it affect the pH of the mixture?
After developing this stuff for many years, even in the Arista version, I have this question.
Is it actually changing the developer if I don't rinse/soak first, which I sometimes don't do.
It's quite an impressive colour green too.
thanks!
