Welcome to APUG!

Golden all over, including the shadows? Or are the parts that should be black now golden?

How much developer are you using? Are you using single tray processing?

I do not know how you are processing them, but if the developer gets used up, it can make the paper negatives a light brown almost golden color. Sometimes I do that on purpose! If you are only using a small amount of developer, maybe it is getting used up by the first negative, so that it is too weak for the second and third negatives?

Or maybe the developer is getting contaminated somehow with stop or fix? That could reduce its activity.

Please try to describe in more detail how you are processing. Something is wrong and it should not be too hard to figure it out.

silver nanoparticles have red , blue , green and gold colors. May be accomplished Turkovich process .

I use a processing drum, and black parts are still black, everything else is golden.. I use 500ml of developer.. stopbath and fixer.. so that could be the problem, I should try 1000ml maybe and use trays? I will try that next time.

The internet is lightning fast. But, you would do well to not believe all the instant bull you are fed.

I think 500 ml normal strength developer should be plenty for 3 paper negatives, even 8x10 size. This almost sounds like some kind of staining. The drum should be washed well between uses. hmmm.

How dilute is your developer?
