Thank You!
Brian, the toner I use is Agfa 520, you can find the formula on W. Moersch's site. As for the bleach, my stock solution is 100grs of potassium ferry + 50grs of bromide, complete for 1 liter with water. Then I dilute it (for this paper ) 1+9 ( I usually use a higher dilution especially with Foma 1+30) I soak the print in the bleach for about 30-40 sec, I always snatch BEFORE i get what i want because the bleaching always carries on in the water for a few seconds. Rinse. Toner. Wash.

In this image, what effect has the bleach caused? In other words, how would the image look different if it had not been bleached?

This is a brilliant print, with both meanings of the word justified. I just read some post about whether dodging and burning are legitimate. Here's an example of the image achieving beautiful drama and depth from those darkened edges. (I'm making an assumption here, I hope I'm right.) On another note, I used to use Hasselblad SWC cameras for industrial work. I'm sorry I never bought one.

Beautiful picture and print. Looks almost like a Lith.

Trask, in this image the bleach mainly affects the high values and the partially the mid values due to the short passage in the bleach. thus when the picture is transfered to the toner , only these values are affected.
