The responses thus far got me thinking about something that I've seen in the
archives. Copying negs onto chrome film would (or could with filters and
changes in processing) give a colour to the final matrix (negative). This
colour could than change not only the contrast of the final print ( I am
referring here to pt/pl) but also maybe the colour of the final print.
Does anyone remember this thread?
I'm thinking of a matrix with different shadow/ highlight colours which
might result in split tones in the final print ( or at least as a way to
control contrast).
I've heard that the Ziatype, the Ware/ Malde POP pt/pl, and the Chrysotype
can result in split tones but was thinking of a way to control this by
matrix colour.
This method (E-6 copying of negs) seems impractical for many reasons but
might be a good approach for making reprints from historical negatives
which match ( in coulor tone) to its original prints.
Just a thought.
