At the corner of Colorado Boulevard and Orange Grove Boulevard in Pasadena, California, there is a very tall flagpole -- if you have ever watched the Rose Bowl Parade, you have seen it, as this is the corner the units turn to proceed down Colorado during the event. The flagpole commemorates the veterans from Pasadena of World War I. There are large bronze reliefs at its base -- this one shows a nurse bandaging a doughboy's eyes, most likely injuries received from a mustard gas attack. Converted to selenium toned monochrome in Adobe Lightroom.

Wasser allein reicht nicht aus, um das unbelichtete Silbersalz völlig zu lösen, eine Behandlung mit Kochsalzlösung auch nicht. Der Selentoner ohne Thiosulfat greift sich auch die kleinsten Silbersalzreste. Es muß also ein sanftes Lösemittel zur Klärung ran, bevor getont wird. Thiocyanat (5%) wirkt, das EDTA/Sulfit-Klärbad für den Platindruck auch. Nun könnte man beides auch in den Toner reinpacken, aber dann würden sich die gelösten Silber- und Eisensalze im Toner anreichern, was seine Lebensdauer enorm verkürzen würde. Es ist jedoch kein zusätzlicher Arbeitsgang erforderlich, denn auf die übliche Entfernung der Eisensalze mit Zitronensäure kann verzichtet werden, das EDTA erledigt das gleich mit.

Water and a sodium chloride solution is not enough to remove the unexposed silver salt.

Potassium thiocyanate works as a weak "fixer", the standard clearing bath (EDTA/sulfit) also.

Because iron-based coatings are not very sensitive to room light, one tends to be somewhat careless. Mostly one doesn´t see a resulting fog in the picture itself, but with masked borders any slight pre-exposure becomes visible. A propper clearing is also important, especially when a toning is intended. Do not use a water bath after the developer in order to avoid a forming of insoluble iron hydroxide. Go directly into the acid.

As already mentioned, the whole film was underexposed. After a treatment with copper intensifier the negatives became useable for lith printing, a straight enlargement with normal developers is still impossible.

Do not dispair about thin negatives. Besides the digital rescue route there is a chemical hardliner method of choise, the copying on film in one step with reversal development. What I usually do with enlarged negatives is also possible as a contact. Provided that your original negative shows a minimum of shadow detail, you can spread a much too short range to any desired contrast.

This negative came up to only 0.36 logD after intensifying - measured with a colourblind densitometer. The additional increase of contrast due to the reddish copper is still not enough for a propper silver gelatin print. What we need for an enlargement on silver papers is a contrast between 0.8 and 1.3 logD. Much more would be possible, such as about 2.0 logD for Palladium.

This enlarged print negative (20x20cm) has a contrast of 1.3 logD - perfect for a Kallitype.
