Thanks to all who responded about doing autochrome. It's been interesting.

I've decided it's WAY too much like real work. Also, the probability that a bunch of 10th graders with no darkroom experience might succeed is in the single digits....

<Sigh> I had a wonderful image of seeing their little eyeballs pop out when I told them we were going to make photos out of potatoes...

I'm still looking for new tricks, but this won't be one of them. At least not yet.
