Hello all,

There was some traffic asking into autochromes awhile back. For those
still interested I would recommend looking at the new Pinhole Journal
which describes a simple autochrome procedure; in this particular case
using pinhole images. The process is based on dyed rice flour (as opposed
to dyed corn starch). Materials are very simple: rice flour; ink or
transparent dyes in red, green, blue; varnish, clear acetate, B&W film,
color enlarging paper and chemistry. The procedure is described by
Mexican photographer, Carlos Jurado.

Take a look. The results are very interesting.
