Since Forte has gone, Fomatone is my favoured lith-paper if color is desired. With much light, strong developer-dilution and long development-time, we get very colored midtones and lights, but no really deep black.
I see three possibilities to solve this problem:
1. thin man and fat man in the bathtub
Exposure + 3 stops 7 minutes in the thin man´s tub, 1 minute in fat man´s tub
plus 1-3 minutes selenium-shower
Disadvantage: Dilutions of 1+30 or 1+40 are not stable
"the tones suite the guitar well."
Thanks Eric - I hope, I'll remember that! - a fashionable formulation, it I is not easy to learn English for an old bone (like me).
Beautiful print Wolfgang and thanks for all of the very useful information.
I'll guess that thin man is very dilute developer and fat man is much less dilute..
Yes Fomatone is beautiful, especially the 542, but I love Forte for regular printing and theres nothing like PWT.
theres nothing like PWT
I agree with you Vic. The hope finally dies. And the hope is still alive!
And yes, thin man is very dilute (depending on formulation 1+15 to 1+40) and fat man means 1+4 to 1+10.
Sorry for this kind of for the euphemism, it is just a song of Little Feet "Fat Man in The Bathtub" I always remember, when I think about fat or strong (developers).
Very nice print, Wolfgang! I love your Little Feat description regarding developers. By the way, the live version of "Fat Man In the Bathtub" by Little Feat on the "Waiting For Columbus" album is a great version of that song. (FWIW)
