It's rather hard to control the bleaching action to exactly reproduce the color
around the pin hole.  Far easier to just bleach entirely and then using spotting
color.

thanks, i remembered the process with the toothpick. But you are using straight
iodine? I tried spotting the negative with Kodak's red scarlett spotting dyes,
but it is leaving much too large of a spot (well, rather , I am leaving to much
area) that i really want to go back and spot. Am hoping that this method will
leave a much smaller area to go back and spot. Practice is surely in order for
this!!
