Re: [APML] To hypo or hypersensitize...that is the question!

[Brian larmay <power_windows4789@yahoo.com>]

Thanks guys, I really didnt believe there was any
other term for hypering film, but I thought Id check
to see if I might have missed something.
Im thinking he might have heard it wrong or something
and preached it that way ever since...ive got to give
the guy some sort of benefit of the doubt.
Still though, if hes teaching darkroom classes and
photography, he should know these types of things and
open to knowledge and correction.

Thanks,
Brian
