If anyone is still interested since the thread of a few weeks ago, there
is an autochrome procedure published in the current issue of Pinhole
Journal by Mexican photographer Carlos Jurado.

His procedure is based on ink-dyed rice flour, coated onto a varnish
covered acetate. The "plate" is then sandwiched to traditional B&W film
and exposed in-camera. Register the "plate" with the developed negative
and print as a regular color print, either by contact or by enlarging.
His results are interesting, although not the exact look of a historical
autochrome. Maybe somehting other than rice flour?
