Never anything new under the sun...
I was faced with the need to do some dodging (removing some pigment from highlight areas) and I have seen this done with brushes or with spray bottles while developing the print.
The brush method for me was too severe & I had no spray bottle at hand.
I hit on a nifty alternative while the print is just slightly submerged I took a lens blower like the "Rocket" or one of the medical bulb types used for amongst other things enemas.
One can adjust the height and force of the air that blows the water to agitate and remove pigment.
Would love to know if anyone has tried it and if not and they do, please let me know how you find it.
