Re: Vandyke colors?

Yves,

Here's a test I ran a few months ago comparing Kodak Rapid Selenium
Toner, Kodak Polytoner, and Clerc's thiourea-gold toner both before or
after fixing. Be forewarned if you visit the image is a nude figure in
the woods:

Processing steps are also indicated on the comparison.

Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone can direct me to image realised with the Vandyke
process
where I could compare the colors resulting from various toners. Looking
at
http://www.alternativephotography.com/process_vandyke.html there is no
way
to tell which is which. I like those colors, if someone know how they
where
done this would be fine. I haven't toned mine yet (only a few tests) but
the
color I get is is no where near what is shown there. I assume toning
would
change that and since describing colors with words is highly subjective
I'd
prefer to see colors then reading about them, if possible of course. I
know
in the end I'll have to find my own way around but this would
considerably
reduce experimentation, time and cost so if you can help I would
appreciate
greatly.

Thanks
Yves
