I had one of those "so crazy it can't possibly work" ideas yesterday. Stand developing produces the edge sharpening effect because the developer gets used up more quickly in denser areas right? But eventually the developer will swirl around and mix together even if you don't agitate it. What if we slowed that process down by making the developer more viscous for even less agitation than stand dev?
So I cooked up some corn starch and water gravy to a semen-like consistency and then added rodinal to it 1+100. Stand dev about 3 hours. I think it did emphasize the edge effects a bit, unfortunately I fucked up fixing of the control sample so I can't say for sure. Definitely worth more experimenting.
