[pure-silver] Re: Toner for chocolate brown tone

Richard I just read and accidentally deleted the second post you made.  You are 
following more what is a sepia type of toner.  What I did was take a regular 
print.  I selenium toned it first.  I let it go to just right before it would 
turn that weird eggplant purple.  Then I stuck it into a tray of dilute 
potassium ferricynide.  It did not bleach at all.  It just turned a funky 
bright dark orange.  I didn't redevelope it.  I just washed it from that point. 
 It was during the washing that the color turned the rich dark chocolate brown. 
 We are using different methods and different chemicals.  I'm for what ever 
works for a person.  Toning is a fun thing to experiment with.  Takes me back 
to the flames tests in chem classes.I've been wondering if some of the other 
metals from those same flame tests would produce some interesting colors.
