Hi,

I have some rather "bullet-proof" 4x5 negs that are pretty useless for
standard enlarging, but someone has said that they might be good candidates
for alternate processing.

Looking through all of my old photography books, I seem to like the Albumen
prints better than the platinum and palladium prints. I know you really need
to see one of these prints first hand to ge the real effect, but some
decently scanned examples should be good too. I am really leaning towards
the albumen prints, again, based on the look of the prints that are decades
old in the books.

Does anyone have any posted examples of both? Or experiences with any of
them? I saw the price for the Platinum kit at Photographer's formulary,
and...OUCH!! $ 45.00 for 8 4x5s?!

Thanks....


Did you consider making a contrast reducing mask ?
