Hello there,

I am thinking on possibility to use positive paper , sensitized with dichromate and used at camera. I think pinhole camera is enough to transmit strong summer uv on paper with other spectrum, the daylight. If I am not wrong , uv would tan the paper gelatin and daylight slowly expose the silver grains and development will result with two different spectrum photograph within each other and two different qualities , one grades of silver , second grades of gelatin.

What do you think about that ?

I remember photographic paper emulsion is so hard and refuses to tan with pyro. Is it correct for above , it would not be too hard to cast a dichromated gelatin in a mold or coating a glass plate. What do you advise if post 1 or post 2 correct ?
