[alt-photo] Re: platinum over pigment

[Rene Hales]

Diana, thanks, I too used the Platine paper. But recently bought some
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag to try as it was mentioned in Christopher James's book
second edition. Page 372 "It is a great paper for gum on ink-jet and PT/Pd
on ink-jet." Have not tried it yet, but I am going to.

Thanks for the video tip. Will check them out.

That's really nice, Rene.  That's mostly how I've been using some of  
my remaining platinum/palladium I have.   I think this is such a  
beautiful process, and I love how you can control the amount of  
color-- and also what the addition of pt/pd does to the small amount  
of color there, too.  I also do the pt/pd layer over the print-- agree  
that it makes registration much easier, and I use Arches Platine  
paper.  What paper are you using?

I learned this way of doing it (the pt/pd over the print) from a  
YouTube video-- from the people who have posted here before, I think,  
whose name I now can't remember.  So helpful.  I think it's the  
ProjectVedos videos (from Finland?).   But it's an intriguing process,  
and I love your image here--  really lovely.  Thanks.
