An entirely different presentation of mordancage. Consider boosting the contrast and brightness of the digital image to utilize the full range of tones from black to white. This may be less lyrical, but more dramatic.
Thanks! The darker background is what's under the emulsion. You can work to wipe it all off or let it stay and work with it. I hadn't done one like this before, so wanted to try. I think this is my favorite of my recent ones. Jim - the original has slightly better contrast. On my screen before I uploaded it, it looked closer to the real one. I may try some non-apug things later, too.
