Just a side note...
Remember back in July when I exposed a Cadmium
Yellow Pale layer (well, really overexposed), and the color of the yellow was
kind of mustard-y in the darkest parts.
Well, reviewing the fantastic pics at unblinkingeye
of Keith Taylor's process revealed this:
Also, the pic before and a few after that one...he
uses a Cad Y Pale and yes, it looks a bit mustard after exposure. Isn't that
wild?

I should've been more clear...I'm getting better
gum results from palladium negs than using less contrasty
negs for gum. My palladium prints print wonderfully with the palladium negs
;-)
This would be a huge advantage for me, in not
having to keep track of two different styles of digital
negatives.
Now, I'm wondering how the palladium negs will
work with tri-color gum...only one way to find out!
