RE: Selenium-toning Van Dyke Brown prints
Camden, add me to the list... I absolutely didn't like the (yellowish) color I got from Selenium toned (1:200) Vandykes. I prefer better the original unaltered color OR the color I get after gold/thiourea toning.

I guess I just prefer the untoned colors for my VDB prints.
