Hi Peter !
Following a processing mistake, I was left with a quite thin negative
roll. (to say the less...)
My only option was to go get intensifiers, or use the bleach/re devellop
technique (I figured this myself, having no access to P. Gainer article,
BTW)
So I bleached the neg roll in a Kodak sepia toner bath, and dev. it in
PMK 1+2+100 for the time it should have had if dev. normally in this. I
do not recall if I re fixed the film or not.
It worked. My un printable negative has become an awfully difficult
negative to print. But I've got an image....
Later, I was told to use the full sepia toner to add some more density
to the neg. On time, I'll try it, after all I do not risk ruining
negatives, they _are_ ruined...
Enjoy ;-)
And all my thoughts go the Asian people suffering from this earthquake.
