They dragged from alternativephotography.com the results from all the 
techniques, but with some funny results. For instance, the only resinotypes 
were greenish and so they tone green. 
However, I would interpret this as an increased interest towards these 
techniques.
It is worth noting, at least with my Italian eyes (that is, referring to 
what I see everydays in my country), that the professional photographers 
frequently use for their creative works, in particular for advertising and 
fashion, many shooting or printing techniques which formerly were appannage 
of almost only the amateurs.
Since some years, some advertisements have the typical look of a 
platinum/palladium print, nuances and split-tones included. I have never 
seen anythuing looking like a cyanotype, however. Maybe in the future?
