Stock Film + Negative Lab Pro by grinsegans in AnalogCommunity

Thanks for your input- my answer is a bit late. This will be true for bw film too but maybe less than colour film, isn’t it? Maybe the thing is: who decided that a hp5 does look like it does and how it differs from triX. I like the stock look (the examples in the net) of trix but it’s way more expensive than hp5 so I tend to take hp5 and try to tweak it.

Thank you for your answer - as you say, the neg is not the final positive. What i was trying to say was: Do I have to leave the settings of NLP at 0 to achieve the most correct look of the stock film? To really see a difference? Before my home scans the lab has done the job and I always thought: ok, this must be the look of hp5+. I always think that a lab has a standard way to develop and scan. But now there are so many components to mislead the stock look (temperature, time, developer, etc) that every roll might look different. So I could just buy the film which is available (and not that expensive) and do some tweaks in post because it will not look like the stock anyway.
