(I need to read threads before responding.)
Use a number 1 pencil or softer! You won't get any graphite on the negative with harder leads.
Sodium thiosulfate crystals. 30g per 1000ml for a 3% solution. Two baths. Change A after ten prints with B, and mix up a new B.

You're trying to compare apples to oranges with silver gelatin and Van Dyke negative comparisons. Stop trying. You need two different negatives. There's something about emulsion curves you're not...
Unless your negative is perfect, or digital, you'll probably need a bit of dichromate in the water to get any kind of highlights. Test about three prints processed exactly the same way, except for...
I've been doing Van Dykes quite a while now. I can't speak for anywhere else, but, in California, you need to crank up the room to around 80 degrees and 70 percent humidity, and keep the paper in...
Whatever. I regularly push T-Max 400 two stops, develop in Clayton f-60 1-9 75 degrees for 15 minutes, light agitation.
You'll love the results. Excellent shadow detail. You can pretty much...
You forgot duplicating film and lith film for enlarging. Both APUG acceptable methods of enlarging. Before digital anything, that's the way it had to be done! With lith, you have to make a...

I love Jame's book, too, for everything alt. But, for digital negatives, it's about the last book I'd reference.
Borders on Lake in Pasadena. Freestyle in Hollywood had a copy a few months ago. Samy's on Walnut and Fair Oaks. How many copies would you like? I'm sure I can find some. I keep seeing it all...
Crikey. I just figured out this thread is 65 pages of alt processes! Wow.
Out of print? Really? His second edition? It is still pretty available. I see it all the time in stores. Maybe get a copy before it gets expensive. If you don't have Dick Arentz pt/pd book,...
Son of a gun, I wish I knew about this! Crikey sheisters! I knew I should have been paying attention to this site instead of Model Mayhem. But, it's so fun over there.
Well, at least there's...
I'm having a tough time figuring this out. Sorry.
Are art nudes allowed here?
Anything with mercury in it.
Selenium toner
Silver nitrate
Ammonium and potassium dichromate
Many, many others in my darkroom alone!
Oh, it's digital negatives you want?
Try Mark Nelsons ebook, "Precision Digital Negatives."
Master that and you'll be set for life for digital negatives.
Also well done, and decent...

(Still getting the hang of this site. Bare/bear with me.)
Well, if I can figure out how to post an attachment, I'll play along. Alt process is my life.
Those are all wonderful!
You can go through a box of 50 in a single shooting session with a model. I shoot almost exclusively T-Max 400 shooting indoors or outdoors with models, and T-Max 100 for landscapes. T-Max 100 does...
