How about a sort of reverse question. How do you tone a silver print to
look like a cyanotype? Berg makes a blue toner. Has anyone used it?
What I really want in a toner is the look you get when you fix cyanotype
with tannic acid. It is a mauve shade. Anyone have any ideas on how to
get this tone on silver? I have a hand colored cyanotype this color
that is fading badly and I want to duplicate the piece.

Thanks,
