Re: Anyone doing autochrome?

I'm asking as it is a glass plate covered with colored potato starch grains. The grains are pressed together under a multi ton press then the back of these grains is coated with a photo emulsion - this plate is then developed as a positive after it has been exposed in camera... The final result is a color transparency... So the chances of anyone doing this themself w/o a research grant are small. However- it would not be impossible to contact print onto color photo paper through a multi colored screen made in an inkjet printer. I also have a simple digital method in photoshop that looks very similar to an autochrome. If this interests anyone I can write this up... Richard Vallon - Orleans Photo Inc.
