WOW, I never knew I was making Silver-Selenide-Gelatin prints. I've been calling the prints I exhibit "selenium-toned gelatin silver" but that's almost understandable. Your term sounds exotic, so it must be much better in the fine art world :-) I'm going to used it from now on--really.

Which is correct: Gelatin silver, or silver gelatin? I've seen it both ways. Wikipedia seems to think it should be gelatin silver, but the Texas Photographic society says silver gelatin. Does it even matter? --shannonThe terms are strictly the invention of galleries who want to 1, To differentiate the prints from other types (carbon, platinum, gum, etc.) 2, Give them a fancy name (WoW, look at this: its a Silver Gelatin print!). If you tone your prints consider calling them Silver-Selenide-Gelatin or Silver-Sulfide-Gelatin, depending on the type of toner used. Boy, will that ever confuse the troops.
