Charles,
I agree with Ben; just to ease your fears, she is not on this list :) and
I'll still be letting her discover her own things even though I am finding
out all these wonderful things from the several of you that are testing
this. So report away.
It seems these might factor into the colors:
moisture?
heat? (Burchfield in the direct equatorial sun)
paper and age of paper?
time?
fixer type? Here, since there is dramatic bleaching in the fix, are you all
using the more alkaline fix recipe I shared, or regular rapid fix? How long
in the fix and continual agitation?
When I did this with negatives, my fix preserved the vivid terra cottas and
yellows and mauves and peaches and pinks of the papers I used (not
outdated), and so it is probably more paper dependent than age of paper
dependent, I bet. Forte was wonderful...
