What are the visual differences between a dry plate ambrotype (gelatin) and a wet plate collodion ambrotype when both are photographed with the correct exposure?
Which one has brighter highlights when both are photographed on the same subject.?
(I am talking about making positive, not negative)

Also, Is a dry plate gelatin ambrotype considered panchromatic?

Thank you!
