Re: image transfer

Hmmm . . . if you don't mind making an RC print . . b/w on RC or any
color process.
You can take the image, soak it in HOT water (120ºF) for a minute or
two, then, if you
fingers can stand it, reach in and w/some force slowly push away at a
corner of the print until you start to separate the emulsion, which
is plasticized, from the paper. Once that happens you can, again
carefully, tear the emulsion, very slowly, away from the paper. By
retaining it in warm to hot water any remaining paper can be rubbed
off. You are then left with the photograph on that very flexible
plastic surface and then it can be glued on to any surface.
