Bob,
When I first started printing in Alt. Processes years ago, I used
sunlight as my light source. I tried gold toning VDB prints and got a
beautiful split tone effect; lavender in the highlights and chocolate
black in the deep shadows.On the image that I used (night scene of old
store front with street lights) the effect was very real looking. When I
built a bank of UV lights and tried the same treatment, using the same
image, the split toning did not work. After ckecking all of the
variables, chemistry, paper, etc., I could only surmise that the type of
exposing light caused the spit tone effect. Any thoughts from the list
would be greatly appreciated; after selling several images of this
scene, I only have one for myself.
On another thought, I join you in asking Judy to reconsider leaving the
list. I am now finding time to perhaps respond to the list instead of
lurking.
Regards to one and all,
Jonathon Russell
