I like their subtle tone, a slight tan in the grays and highlights. I have heard that he uses sepia. I have limited experience with sepia toning. How would he use sepia to achieve such a tone? Would it be by partial bleaching? Janet Ness Its hard to tell from his web site but whats there looks more like lith prints than toning- maybe. I've tried partial bleaching but get a much stronger color on the toned parts, perhaps very slight bleaching would do it. Probably the best single source of information on toning is Tim Rudman's book _The Photographer's Master Printing Course_ He also has a book on lith printing. I thought he followed this list. -- Richard Knoppow dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Los Angeles, CA, USA ============================================================================================================= 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.
