I assume for a paper negative I have to dodge and burn etc. only once (contact print for all other prints from the paper negative) while I've to do it for each print of a film negative - is this right?
Does a paper negative produce a differnt kind of look?
Sorry I just now noticed your question! Yes that's right. Also there is a very neat thing you can do with paper positives and negatives.... you can work with a pencil on the back of the interpositive ( for "burning" ) and then again with a pencil on the back of the negative ( for "dodging" ) so there is a lot of control possible. The paper negatives do produce a different look compared to a straight print.

Hi Ned,

I joined this site because I found what you've shared after researching cyanotype. I am very interested in trying your sepia print negative..Alas, I am totally new to cyanotype and have only used the part A & part B kits

I know nothing about chemistry and am intimidated by the recipe you've shared

could you kindly walk a super newbee through the process

I don't even know where to order raw chemicals and feel a little scared on how to use them safely.

thank you so much for your generous teaching !

I appreciate all the images you've shared

thank you !

Photographer's Formulary and Artcraft are the usual suspects for raw photographic chemicals in the USA. Can't help on the other stuff, but I've ordered from Formulary, been very happy with the stuff I've bought and the service.
