Hi all,
I'm wondering about techniques for peeling off emulsion layer of fiber based
traditional photo papers.
The idea is to build up some 8x10 or maybe 11x14 in neg size camera, then
contact printing or even enlarging negs but I think it'd be quite better to
have the film base taken off.
I know some problems could come up, stretching/compressing emulsion layer
and so on but I think that could be more something to add than anything
else.
So I'll appreciate any idea, thought, experience around the peeling off
technique thing which I never got done. At least the way it should be.
gracias in advance
Pablo
