Jon and Nate,
There are times when I don't like the stain because it resembles fog.
There are times when the stain is really such a yellow ochre that it is
ugly. But actually, it was Cor who initially asked the stain question, how
to get rid of it, and so I just had to find out...When I first started doing
the process my staining was really bad.
Nate, I have tried the lower dilution vs. higher dilution of developer
and that has not done anything.
I think you can exploit any quality of mordancage by matching content to
process. Another one I find fascinating is when you don't fix, and the
image silvers out and darkens. That metallic look has possibilities with
many images, but I can't say I prefer it with flesh. Hey, I'll scan a
couple of my images from the weekend and send offlist.
Chris

Subject: Re: mordancage, longJon:
Good question! I find it great with some images, just like I would with
toning. I guess the thing that interests me most is to be able to
control it to some extent so I can have it when I want it. I would like
to understand better what are the factors that cause it or prevent it.
I suspect that 1 factor might be the redeveloper and its strength.
I'll play with that at my next Mordancage session. Chris may have a
better insight than me at this time.
Hope all is well with you guys up North.

I take it you find the paper stain objectionable??
I ask because I can't recall ever looking at a mordancaged image and
thinking, "This would be a great print but for the stain...."
Just wondering.
