DOUBLE TONING (Dual Sepia) from 1939
April 28, 2007, from Lloyd Erlick,
I've been looking at my stash of boxed up old books ... (no guarantees that this formula works on current materials, or ever did, for that matter) ... [from "Fortunes in Formulas" by Hiscox and Sloane, Norman Henley Publishing, 1937-1939.] DOUBLE TONING (Dual Sepia): Here is a toner that will give two shades of different browns in the one picture, and the effect is very pleasing. Make a solution of one-half ounce chromic acid in 10 ounces water. Place the print in this solution until it nearly fades out (about a minute or so). Wash the print in running water and then place the print in ordinary film developer (M.Q.) and redevelop back to visibility. This formula takes the place of the old time sulphide print for rich browns. Unlike the old time sulphide process the above is odorless and less liable to produce insoluble stains. |
