I read that Tech Pan has had a developer especially formulated so it will scan better. Knowing very little about film scanning can anybody tell me what way this developer will alter neg characteristics.(posted 8565 days ago)Would this developer give the same print results under the enlarger. (I'm thinking I could use this as a furure-proofing dev for Tech Pan come the day hi-res film scans are commonplace).
TIA.

This web page states:
"Technical Pan film is in a class of its own when extreme resolution is needed, and it will be a long time before CCDs come anywhere near to the film's data recording potential. SPEEDIBREWS has now come up with the solution for workers preferring to scan film negatives, and work on prints via a digital option. CELER MONO tames Tech Pan, yielding a clean negative absolutely tailor-made for digital scanning as an alternative to conventional dark room technology. The negatives contain an amazing tonal range, almost impossible to duplicate by conventional developers, whilst offering a true 2-stops speed increase to a nice and familiar 100 ISO film rating. The resolution will still out-perform most camera lenses.
Because Tech Pan is a specialist film, the extended red sensitivity really comes into it's own under artificial lighting."
