Thanks!

That makes that two of us who would like to know the process. Great mixture of tones or is it colours with Colorvir

Thanks

Make that three. Please tell us more. These look like cross processed e-6. Your also doing your own printing which is a plus. I like the first one with the bird best.

Thank You all for these comments. This photo belongs in my set of ten photographs which were shoot when I was in Tokyo. First I print negatives to Agfa RC glossy paper. I recieved Colorvir set, but without manuals from my school of photography. Colorvir Kit was more than 10 years old. I found article in Darkroom techniques vol4/nr3 May/June 1983, and there is written test about using this Colorvir. There are some amaising examples. My prints are not even 15% of that art. On his examples You can see 3,4 even 5 different colours (and pseudo solarization). This Kit is all in order, because it have no exp. date. Btw, this kit is possible to buy, and it is still produced. I bought german language manuals, available here in Europe, but it is difficult to understand. All You need is water, kitchen salt and acetic acid. In some cases You need ammonia bath, but I did not use it.
For my prints I used most simply method:
1. yellow bad
2. salt bad
3. wash
4. red, blue, magenta etc. bad (many possible combinations)
After this, you can dry or proceed with other processes (this cycle again with other color at this same print, dye, polychrome, solarisation, tonning, sulphuration....

This Colorvir is very unapredicible. It is also worth of buying. But I would not know, how long can image last, and if UV light or normal light can cause any problems in the future. I have not found any long term tests for light.

If You are interested for magazine scans and article I will be glad to post PDF to You. Just send PM with email.
Here are also some informations. The first one is how I made my prints.
