Hi everyone,

I am receiving the mail- is ok?

I think that it depends on how much brush marks that are either too close to the paper's edge and then cropping closer onto the coated area might be prettier but to make a point, leaving brush marks sure sets the image apart from all the digital prints that are out "there".

BTW, anyone know how to make salted prints? Would appreciate some help.

Thanks,
Susan
