>i stumbled across a Camera&Darkroom article by Karl Koneig in the March
95 issue ... he tells enuff to make u wanna buy his book :-)
but has anyone tried this process? what are the pros and cons of it?
should I try it before Gum Bichromate ( actually I have tried GB way back
and wasnt very sucessful)?<

Hi Ian

I included it in my teaching programme last year, if you have a nice grainy
texture tone positive it is ok, but however still a very difficult process
to work, the fact that we are not doing it this year speaks for itself.
Get to grips with GB first,that is if one can ever really get to grips
with that elusive process { humble grovelling apologies Judy I just could
not help it } :-) then try it.

If you need anymore info please get back to me pete
