roy said:All this leads to my main point and that is can I have some advice please, on the advisability of selenium toning negs to give them a bit more body and contrast. Les, I have found your advice given on Colin's workshops useful, are you able to chip in here ? The moral of all this is however, listen to good advice you are given but in my defence I must say you do not know until you try for yourself and I was trying out different combinations !!

Thanks Aggie, I have had a look at your picture. I am heartened by the fact that I have some contrast in my negs but the lack of it is not the 'pyro effect' as the edge markings show. I cannot print for a couple of months as my darkroom is in my loft and I am recovering from a hip replacement. I feel sure I can get some prints from these negatives and am looking forward to having a shot at them in the autumn.
Aggie said:True! We all learn as we go.... and know now that it is more the knowledge of the way to handle film verses which developer is the best.
As you rightly put it.....having the toolbox and knowing what to use for the effect you want. That must be the ultimate !
