-### Update 10-20-2024: Dispensing With Prewetting
+### Update  04-19-2025: Is Prewetting Necessary?
 
 The subject of prewetting film before actual development has been an
-on-again, off-again debate among serious practioners for quite some
-time.  After reading a bunch of stuff and listening to people make
-their case, I am currently of the view that it is actually not a good
-idea and not needed in any case.  There is a strong argument made that
-prewetting swells the emulsion and may actually make it harder for the
-film to absorb the developer.  Since I have stopped prewetting, I have
-seen no difference in outcomes.  So, at the very worst, it makes no
-difference and you can save yourself the time.
