As my another post said, my dilution forms are not "general formula". My
teacher taught me to develop films with different dilutions for different
contrast shots. Thus, do not think any "general formula" on my pictures. I
consider the film development process to make enlarging prints more easy.

Some of my classmates wouldn't care the process of film development and
make enlarging prints difficulty. They'd rather to enhance printing skills
to "rescue" the picture more than concentrate at preparation before shots,
how to develop a good film. I understood "rescue skills" in darkroom is a
benefit for those pictures are not good in shooting or developing but there
will spend much of time & money for a picture. Thus, I will take good
preparation before the shot & develop a good film more than to "rescue" a
picture. That's my view, just share my 2 cents.


Regards,
Michael
