FSA toning....any expereince

[Mark Fisher]

I was just thinking about this the other day and just re-read what Tim Rudman said in his toning book. It sounds like a great (if not archival) toning method that is much safer than other options. Anyone out there have experience with it?

Thanks -- Mark

What is it? What does FSA stand for? Not all of us have the book.

In photography "FSA" is important in terms of Photo History as the "Farm Security Administration" and the documentary work carried out by Lange & others photographing the share croppers and other farmers during the Great Depression & dustbowl.

FSA in terms of toning is formamidine sulphinic acid. You can get it from Speedibrews. I have not used it myself, but I like the effects.

FSA toning is described in some detail in Rudman's book on toning.

I already knew about that FSA, but not about the toner. I really need to get the Rudman toning book.

Hmmm, had I read your original post I would have seen that my little bit of info was utterly redundant...
