RE: VDB Color
Drop the selenium idea, if you're going to use ready made selenium toners which incorporate ammonium thiosulfate that is... Best toners for VDB are gold, platinum or palladium toners. See Sandy Kings Kallitype article here for gold and/or pt/pd toners for Kallitype (and Vandyke) here: http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Kallitype/kallitype.html (see page 2) Gold Toner #2 (gold-thiourea) is particularly good in terms of results and expense.

The fixer was too strong as it bleached part of the highlight tones. I corrected it and I'm getting more consistent results. Can I tone VDBs with selenium? If yes, what would be the proper dilution and what colors should I expect? As for gold toners, I need a good formula. Does anyone have it? What colors expect? Thanks again, Joao
