Now that is a very interesting question. I play around making
cyanotypes, e.g., from x rays but have never of course tried color
separations...one would have to get the hospital to allow one to put on
filters....and I wonder if color filters on xrays would work the same as
with regular light specrta. Love to hear about your experience with it.
