You might try asking in the Alternative Processes list. Peeled off emulsion is used for some processes. I've never been able to make it work but I think others have. I suspect it depends on the particular paper.

So here I go:
First is what about peeling silver paper emulsion off, which route to go better through, RC of fiber ? One of most beautiful things I had the chance to dig up is my three vintage wooden made cameras. A 12x18, a 18x24 and a 24x30. All of them with backs and in pretty good working order though the 12x18 looks a bit beaten.
What I mostly do is platinum/palladium prints so thought to use those cameras as a source for my negs. Big issue is that film that size is not hard to get here in Argentina but just impossible. Then the idea of peeling off.
If this is too tricky, my hands got clumsier now, or for any reason this won't work I'd still like to use silver paper as a negative, then scan and make digital negs which I already make since a while with kinda success. Another choice would be to go for X ray film though I don't have the slightest idea about its speed nor how to process but both would hopefully be easy to learn I guess.
So what would you suggest I better start with ? Any help will strongly be thanked. cheers Pablo ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
