Lumen Reversed experiment

Hi there, I left a comment about a lumen print where a developer was mentioned. I queried this, as it was the first time I heard about actually developing a lumen print. Until now I only knew of exposing and fixing.

I cannot find my comment and a possible answer. I am interested to try this process myself.
Regards, Thomas

Well, normally if you develop a lumen print, it'll turn black. Since I bleached it out when it goes through the fogging developer it'll develop properly and be a postive image, not a negative one.

I had the same question as Thomas. So you bleach it and then use developer? Got to try that. See some of my lumen prints on my web site.

If you dont use a fogging developer you'll have to expose it to light then use a developer that'll give you the results you're looking for.

willrea wrote about bleaching and fogging developer. Sorry, I am a beginner in special processes. Do you have formulas for those?
