Fine grain from IR emulsions (was: No subject given)

[pbadcock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

How about using a pyro developer? (PMK)?  I haven't used this yet, but I was 
lead to believe that it stains the film in a way that reduces the effect or 
perception of graininess.  W.J's home page has some great notes and links about 
this stuff.  George - what do you mean by 'mushing'??!

regards
Peter

I can only guess that you are put off by the relatively larger grain 
size of HIE.  In lieu of trying to find a developer that will mush up 
your negatives I will give a couple of suggestions.
