Subject: [pure-silver] silver gelatin or gelatin silver?
I am wondering what to call my prints when I send them
somewhere and have to say what medium they are, or on my
flickr site. 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?
--shannon
The 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.
