Schleiervermeidung bei Zweibad-Lith
Die beiden speziellen Entwicklerkonzentrate (Siena und Catechol) für farbigere Bildtöne nach Lith sind angesäuert um sie für Jahre haltbar zu machen. Sie benötigen also wie der Lithentwickler ein Alkali, um sie zu aktivieren, wobei dann noch keine sonderlich farbige Entwicklung stattfindet. Erst der Zusatz von Ammoniumchlorid verursacht eine höhere Farbigkeit als die, die schon im Lithentwickler entsteht. Bei der Mischung der drei Komponenten sollte ein pH-Wert zwischen 9.5 und 10 erreicht werden. Bei einer gegebenen Menge von Entwicklerkonzentrat (z.B. Pyrocatechol 20ml auf 800-1000ml Wasser) werden etwa 10-15ml Lith B zur Aktivierung benötigt. Wird auch Ammoniumchlorid zugesetzt, sollte die Menge zunächst nur bei etwa 10ml (oder weniger) liegen wobei der Bedarf an Alkali dann auf 20-30ml steigt. Das Mischungsverhältnis und die Verdünnung mit Wasser ist für jedes Papier leicht durch eigene Versuche zu ermitteln. Bei einem ersten Versuch sollte besonderes Augenmerk auf einen eventuell vorhandenen Schleier beim unbelichteten Bildrand gerichtet werden. Ein leichter Schleier mag tolerabel sein, oder wird nicht unbedingt sofort erkannt. Ist jedoch eine Selen-, Gold- oder Schwefeltonung vorgesehen, kann es zu einer bösen Überraschung kommen, denn diese Toner verstärken gnadenlos jeden noch so schwachen Schleier. Bei einer zu hohen Menge von Ammoniumchlorid und Alkali nimmt der weiße Bildrand eine schwach gelbliche Farbe an. Sollte dies der Fall sein, ist ein Zusatz von Antischleiermittel erforderlich. Von Lith D (1+4 verdünnt) werden dann 0,5 ml bis 3 ml pro Liter Entwickler benötigt um den Schleier zu unterdrücken.
Preventing fogging with two-bath lith process
The two special developer concentrates (Siena and Catechol) for more colourful image tones after lith development are acidified to make them last for years. Like the lith developer, they require an alkali to activate them, although no particularly colourful development takes place at this stage. Only the addition of ammonium chloride causes a higher colour intensity than that already produced in the lith developer. When mixing the three components, a pH value between 9.5 and 10 should be achieved. For a given amount of developer concentrate (e.g. 20 ml of pyrocatechol in 800-1000 ml of water), approximately 10-15 ml of Lith B is required for activation. If ammonium chloride is also added, the amount should initially be only about 10 ml (or less), in which case the alkali requirement increases to 20-30 ml. The mixing ratio and dilution with water can be easily determined for each paper by conducting your own tests. During the first test, particular attention should be paid to any fogging that may be present at the unexposed edge of the image. A slight fogging may be tolerable or may not be immediately noticeable. However, if selenium, gold or sulphur toning is planned, this can lead to an unpleasant surprise, as these toners mercilessly intensify even the slightest fogging. If the amount of ammonium chloride and alkali is too high, the white image edge takes on a faint yellowish colour. If this is the case, an anti-fogging agent must be added. Lith D (diluted 1+4) is then required in quantities of 0.5 ml to 3 ml per litre of developer to eliminate the fogging.

Kallitype on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag, sodium acetate developer.
Bleached on the left and redeveloped with SE6 Blue. This produces larger silver crystals, which has the advantage of not having to fear the fading that usually occurs when toning with selenium (made for silver gelatine). The hue is cooler than before.
Middle: MT1 Selenium toner 1+30 45 seconds.
Right: If a cooler shade is desired, it can be toned again in Iron Blue Toner (5+5+10+5+400ml one minute). Because of the combination with selenium, the resulting colour is initially on the greenish side. A post-treatment with lead acetate (2.5% solution 20 seconds) shifts the colour to a cooler blue.

In order to be able to use the normal selenium toner without the disadvantage of fading, the Kallitype (developed in sodium acetate) was first bleached and re-developed with SE6 Blue.

Flower.
Another flower from the accidental photo shoot in the garden centre on the phone. It’s a bright yellow flower. Honest :)
The crop is everything in the composition I think. But, knowing me, you will guess that I took it originally slap-bang in the middle of the frame. How the two halves of my brain struggled with placing the flower off centre in the processing... cold sweat and shaking ensued.
So this was about one-quarter of the frame of the phone’s jpeg (not very good quality but good enough for a grainy treatment like this). Better to have used a raw image from the phone but I didn’t know about that then….
For the Thursday Monochrome group.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image :) Happy Monochrome Thursday!
[Handheld in daylight on a breezy day.
From the Jpeg in Affinity first used curves to increase the colour contrast, and get the luminance range across the image.
Inpainted to get rid of the spots and blemishes on the flower petals that are inevitable with outdoor plants.
Converted with Nik Silver Efex trying to get an even balance of tones with not too dark a flower centre and a little texture on the petals. Darkened borders to give a box vignette and draw us into the image. My favourite Selenium toning and we were done.]
From my recent trip to Finland, the Uspenski Cathedral in Helsinki.
For some reason, my scanner seems to have problems rendering the fine warm nuances in the print. It does with all prints made on this paper. Tried to faithfully adjust the white balance in post here so that it actually matches the print.

Pretty fuzzy, almost like a Holga, to some degree. Shot wide open, the Seagull 4A TLR camera certainly has some Holga-esque quality to it ;)
Love how dramatic and fuzzy this image is! Can't even make out my beautiful tie, what a shame! ;)
This camera is all new to me, I just wanted some 6x6 camera that doesn't break the bank, is relatively small and lightweight and just... works. I've only had it for two days at this point but I already like it a lot!

Sailboat moored off Babson Island. Same foggy morning - we were en route to the loop hiking trail.
Interestingly enough, Michael suggested trying the selenium toning during the processing. This is different from his usual practice of yellow split-toning, and I think it does evoke the blue in the morning fog.
