[pure-silver] Re: mounting slides

Assuming you are photographing finished prints - that is mounted prints - 
eliminate the mount using two L shaped thin black cards. Photograph in 
diffuse daylight, I do mine in a conservatory ( sorry I don't know the 
American for conservatory) using Fuji Sensia II film, and have them 
processed and mounted. I find this method works fine, giving accurate colour 
of B&W and toned prints.

If you mask slides, use Gepe mounts and cooking foil folded to get a smooth 
edge, and held in place with tiny bits of Selotape. Ideal for making 'letter 
box' landscapes.
