I am starting to use 8x10 for a portrait project for contact printing.
The main use will be platinum.
Since my negs are IMO perfect for silver, I know I need more denisty for platinum.
Do I need to make a dupe(either digital or film)to save my original for future silver printing, or can I develop a bit longer and still have a decent original.What happens to that 8x10 tonality in second generation if a copy is made?
Obviously it would be great to stay with the original with the cost of an 8x10 scan.
