Re: gum negatives redux
Katharine...in that pic link, he is drying the yellow layer, so it's after
development.

Paul, I meant to point that out to you when I saw those pics; glad you
saw that. But if I'm understanding it right, that was before
development, and I thought yours was after development, big difference.
Or was yours after exposure and before development too? I too get a
mustard color sometimes after exposure, but when the development is
finished, all I have is yellow, and looking at Keith's finished picture,
the places that were brown after exposure weren't brown in the finished
picture but yellow. But yes, interesting. The more we share, the more
we learn,
Katharine

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!
