RE: Degradation - Toned Cyanotypes
Looks great! I have been proved wrong before. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Loris Medici [mailto:mail@loris.medici.name] Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2008 6:07 PM To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: Degradation - Toned Cyanotypes That depends on what you mean by degradation... See one of my split toned cyanotypes below: http://www.loris.medici.name/Cappadocia-Split-Toned-Cyanotype.jpg This was bleached in a weak Sodium Carbonate solution, and then toned in tannic acid (snatched the print before darkest tones got bleached). I like its tonally and the complexity of the color. I wouldn't call this degradation at all. AFAIK, prints toned that way are pretty stable - but not as stable as plain untoned cyanotypes...
