You’re getting very nice results pushing HP5+ in HC-110. It’s my standard developer, but for pushing I ordered DD-X. Your results make me think I should have at least tried HC-110.

Thank you, John.  Experimentation is always good so do give HC-110 a try.  But I should be honest and say that appearances might be deceiving in this case.  I'm using Negative Lab Pro to convert my digital camera scans (BEOON + Focotar II + Sony A7II) and while NLP does a fantastic job (much, much better than I was able to achieve with Camera Raw), it still takes some playing around with the sliders in LR to get results I think are acceptable.  Usually the exposure and various mixtures of the Whites/Blacks/Highlights/Shadows (which are reversed from their labels since the file starts as a negative).  So, after reading your post, I might just do my own experiment with DD-X to see if I prefer that with pushed HP5+.  :)

Kevin, maybe I misunderstand you here, but the "reversed labels" get their correct direction again, if you select "tif" as the final format.

I think you understood what I was trying to say, Klaus, but to make sure:  the Whites slider actually controls the Blacks; Highlights controls Shadows; Shadows controls Highlights; and Blacks controls Whites.  Every label controls it's opposite part of the tone curve.  

I think I read the tif file solution somewhere else (maybe the NLP forums?), but my understanding (perhaps mistaken!) was that then NLP made a tif file that took up more HD space.  I don't really find the reversed labels that troubling so I didn't bother.  Perhaps this was an old(er) version of NLP though.

Here's an HP5+ frame at 1600 in DD-X. You're right, there are many variables. I suspect CMOS camera scanning softens grain somewhat. My film scanner seems to amplify it. I don't usually adjust much except dust spotting and curves. If the grain is really bad I might use the LR Texture slider.

My preference is for a nice range of middle grays, and DD-X seems to allow that when pushing. But I'm going to try HC-110.
