- When you develop B&W film you can use this technique, but in order to
- reduce air bubbles (instead of banging the tank in the table) and to get
- a somewhat more even development. The emulsion, however, absorb just as much
- chemicals, only it takes about 20s more before the water is replaced.

- You will probably get about the same result with paper, only the air
- bubbles are really no problem here. The gain might be a more even
- development. Does it relly make a difference here? I don't know. Try it!
