Tulips, Selenium Toned

What happens if you leave it in even longer? Or, if you sepia tone first?

For instance, lith prints from Fomatone paper turns a weird color if you selenium tone right after fix and wash. But if you bleach back a slightly overexposed print just a hair with dilute bleach, tone in sepia, and THEN selenium tone, the effect is a color enhancement.

And, Agfa Portriga Rapid turns completely gray if it's selenium toned right after lith printing. But if the above trick is applied, I can get a beautiful chocolate brown tone in selenium instead.

Worth exploring, maybe?

Sounds like I need to do some experimenting, Thomas

While lith printing, I've found that a print will turn gray at first, but will slowly move toward a plummy or a brown tone...depending on the paper.
