[alt-photo] Re: post fixer toning of VDB

[Loris Medici]

  Francis, a wild a.. guess: bleach the print using a rehalogenating 
bleach (e.g. 10% potassium dichromate + 10% sulfuric acid, 1+1), then 
try to tone (and fix, and wash) and see what happens???

OTOH, to my knowing, the gold toner will work after fixing too, you'll 
just need to refix and wash. Probably the results will be different that 
toning before fixing...

Regards,
Loris.
