That part I understood, but I was having trouble reconciling 1/2 with
"Unique state print."

Interesting. I wouldn't say good or not good, since I'm not real up on
numbering editions, but thanks for clarification.

See, totally different effect. It just occurred to me that what I'm
really after here is an overall stain over the image; maybe what I
should be working toward is pigment stain rather than printed tone. I'm
trying to achieve a look that harkens back to a certain kind of
pictorialist look, and I think actually a lot of pictorialist work owes
its charm to pigment stain. At any rate I had to make three negatives
before I got one thin enough to allow the depth of tone I wanted on the
highlights, so there are a lot of layers underneath where the highlights
came out too light. It always amazes me how many different ways there
are to get to a particular effect in gum.
