No Sandy, I have to differ with you on this point. Woodburytypes have a lot
more gelatin deposited into the surface of the paper.Yes, they are
physically the same material, a pigmented colliod, but the act of pressing a
substantial amount of gelatin into the surface also builds depth in the
shadows. You can "see" into the deep mid tones and shadows like a 3D affair.
I have used all of the commercial carbon tissues and also home grown tissues
and the deposit is noticibly less then what can be achieved in a good
Woodburytype.
I've seen them next to each other in the Museum of Photography, Antwerp,
Belgium.
Really, there is a difference.
I must be one of the two people who can tell. :)
All kidding aside, if you can dig up that info on Woodburytype I'll get that
closer to making one and we can compare!
Really appreciate any help Sandy,
Best, Craig
