David, yes it is done at the film development
stage. Essentially they leave the film in the developer longer and it creates
the impression the film was faster than it says on the box. This will raise the
grain slightly but some say that E200 for instance actually IMPROVES with
pushing. Furthermore, I'm told your slides will scan more easily if you push the
processing. Lastly, a one stop push isn't really equal to doubling the
speed so you can push two stops and that is, again I'm told, closer to
doubling the speed.
I've pushed the E200 I shot and it did not
suffer.

Subject: [APML] General question
I had a question and was wondering
if someone could assist me?
I’ve read where people say they
“push” their film one step.. What is meant by that?
Is it something done at the developing lab i.e. developing 200 ASA film at 400
ASA?
Thanks
Dave
