Van Dyke Brown Toner Options
I've used the same image on Fabriano Artistico paper as before to be able to draw conclusions on the most common VDB toner options.
- The Selenium toner was diluted to an 1% solution and the toning time was under 1 min, just till the shadows start to change color. It is an incomplete toning, of course. The intention was only to see the change in color at a level of toning where the shadows are not blanched yet.
- The Gold/Thioureea toning was done to completion with fresh toner and it took ~10min.
The scaner doesn't do justice to the images. Especialy the Gold toned one has much deeper and richer shadows in reality.
