Hi all,
I was in a local gallery and saw a sumptuous prints of a dog portrait that had t he most amazing dark chocolatey brown black tone I have ever seen. The owner sai d that the photographer toned in a combination of Selenium and Sepia. I found th e sepia part hard to believe because this tone is usually more yellow brown.
Does anyone have ideas on how to achieve really velvetly dark and warm Brown/bl ack tones. The tone reminded me of really dark chocolate. I will probably use Il ford MG warmtone paper. Selenium alone will give me two much of a purple tone. I would like to use selenium though for archival purposes. So what do you think? Any ideas or experience with this?
