And it occurs to me that I've only done the "original" mordancage, that is
method in the early literature -- bleach out the developed silver before
fixing and re-expose and develop up the remaining silver halide for a
"negative" image (tho it will be a positive if you begin with a positive).
Therefore, although I assume the copper sulfate would work with the
current method of bleaching back & repositioning an already fixed
photograph, can't guarantee it. (Well, we can't guarantee any of these
things, needless to say, but you know what I mean.)
