- Are fixing by-products at all harmful to color dyes? I think I
- understand the concern for black-and-white materials, since the silver
- image is susceptible to chemical attack, but unless the dyes have
- similar chemistry, they should be okay.
-
- So might six minutes even be too long? (I always follow the suggested
- wash time on the E-6 sheet, but I'd be curious about what bad things
- would happen if it were reduced to near-zero.)
