This is sacrilege !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As gum is capable of as much subtlety of tone and greater contrast than
platinum, and in colour, it is a just a teensy weensy bit upsetting to hear
it said that it is OK to use contrasty lith film as that is OK for gum. If
you want contrasty prints then fair enough. But lith film can be used to
produce very good subtle negatives in PQ Universal at 1 : 20 that are good
for gum and platinum. Not the best, but still good.
If anyone does not believe me I will show them how on one of my workshops
at Hands-On Pictures.
