Dye toning is an old process where the image is bleached using a bleach that acts as a mordant for the dye. The only special chemicals needed are the dyes.

Perhaps there is a more modern bleach available. --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ============================================================================================================= 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.
