Sandy,

Gold can be included in the sensitizer (replacing some of the Pt/Pd drops)
and will indeed move the print color toward purples and split tones, either
with develop-out or POP methods. With POP, gold and other additives can
also shift color. Witho Worms has done some really interesting experiments
with split-toned results from POP-palladium prints. Pt/Pd prints can also be
gold toned after standard processing, again changing tone and color with
purples and various splits possible.---Carl
