Completely false, of course. There is no such thing as
"on and off grain" in film, that is a demented and stupid conclusion
from an online site run by a moron who hasn't used film in decades.

It is always possible that I may be wrong about practically anything,
but I certainly didn't get this from an online site. I got it from books.

I'm sure you have seen books with electron micrographs of developed
film (some very old books show less clear optical micrographs) to explain
how the image formation in film works. The last time I looked at
these books it seemed that a grain either developed (became a speck
of metalic silver) or it didn't and was dissolved by the fixer.

If you know better, I would be glad if you could show me or tell
me where to look for imformation.

Peter.
