a lot of over-exposed negatives: what to do?
I have been thinking about the whole issue of exposure and development for
alt-process, and I have come to the conclusion that most of the negatives I
made over the past year are over-exposed for those processes. That is, I
thought my film speed was 320 for alt-process as for silver, and it's
probably really closer to 400. So, all the shadow areas are over-exposed.
But I would like to salvage these negatives if I could, for alt-process. I
wonder if I could just under-develop them a little, and then adjust the
printing solutions for a less contrasty negative? Or, the alternative is
just to develop them for silver printing. I'd really rather print them some
other way though. What would you do?
