I mean don't fix after bleach and redevelopment. The image has been
initially fixed after the first development, pre-mordancage.

> 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 isugly. But actually, it was Cor who initially asked the stain
question, howto get rid of it, and so I just had to find out...When I first
started doingthe process my staining was really bad. Nate, I have tried
the lower dilution vs. higher dilution of developerand that has not done
anything. I think you can exploit any quality of mordancage by matching
content toprocess. Another one I find fascinating is when you don't fix,
and theimage silvers out and darkens. That metallic look has possibilities
withmany images, but I can't say I prefer it with flesh. Hey, I'll scan
acouple of my images from the weekend and send offlist.Chris----- Original

> Jon:Good question! I find it great with some images, just like I would
withtoning. I guess the thing that interests me most is to be able
tocontrol it to some extent so I can have it when I want it. I would liketo
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 abetter insight
than me at this time.Hope all is well with you guys up North.NateJonathan
