I think it was mentioned on here a while ago that xp2 at least, and probably other films can benefit for a little over exposure, which results in a reduction in contrast.
I've been looking into up/down rating my film and I just wanted to make sure I fully understand the process.
I was hoping someone might be able to answer a couple of questions I have, I've been doing a little research but have not ended up more confused.
Firstly is it correct that if I'm exposing something that is ISO 400 as if it was 200 will be downrating the film, and so this will need to be pulled in the lab and if I under expose it will need to be pushed in the lab.
OR
Do I up/down rate the film as I choose while shooting and develop as normal? My only concern there being that I am then scanning at home rather than doing a traditional print and so do not have the same flexibility
