I see, thank you all for your responses, I think that answers my question!

Would it have any effect on brightness of the image? I read in another forum somewhere that it could be used as a print brightener - http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.org.uk/forum/archive/index.php/t-13207.html

I'm talking more about the immediate impact, not so much about how it will aid to the print's longevity.

Happy little accidents! :D

Ahh thank you! I'm really impressed with the colours and very little shadow and highlight detail lost! I think I will give it a go for one roll of portra 400 and push it just 1 stop.

Thank you for such a detailed answer! Really helpful to know what to expect and very interesting about the SBR too!

Thanks for responding. Do you have some examples of your prints and the reddish skin tones so I could see? I'm not entirely sure whether it's a mistake or he's just talking about a slightly different technique. Maybe something I should experiment with myself. I know the classic practice is to...

I'm of the understanding that pushing/pulling film can increase/decrease contrast and saturation in the negative - does anyone have any examples of RA4 handprints from negatives which have been pushed or pulled when developing? I'd be interested to see the effect it has. I read in an interview...

Thanks Drew! I think like you mention, the subtle difference I'm searching for could just be caused by a culmination of slight variations- whether that's enlarger lens/paper/negative/film stock and/or my printing techniques (I've been colour printing self taught for just over a year so I'm...

This is very helpful again thank you! I printed on CAII a long time ago and found it to be very bland personally. Maybe if I could source some Endura premier I could see if that gets the desired aesthetic. When you mention lengthening the exposure time, have you found a longer exposure time on...

I think by tonality I'm referring to the difference in tones, the graduation from light to dark. Which would still be applicable in colour printing would it not?

Thanks! My chemistry, paper and film all seem good. Color isn't the main thing I'm focused on really, perhaps more to do with the tonal curve. I'm using Fuji DPII Glossy with Portra 400 most of the time. By the sounds of it, the difference in print is not coming from the lens. In which case...

Thank you, I think I'd like to move away from imitation. These were just two examples of work I thought of quickly that possess the quality I'm trying to describe. Apologies, it's hard to illustrate what I mean if other's cannot see noticeable difference or if I can't articulate exactly what I...

Thank you. This is very helpful to see and the sort of comparison I was looking for.

Sorry the examples in the other topic are not mine. They are the desired 'tone'. I guess you could call it style but it's hard to describe. Perhaps I'm talking about contrast and colour?
