Hi, I'm hoping someone could give me notes on my Pt/Pd print. I'm having difficulty figuring out what I might be doing wrong.
After following users' advice on the forum, I left my paper in a humidity-controlled room for about an hour or so and bought a Richeson brush. I also followed Bostick and Sullivan's advice on 20 drops of Pd, 20 drops Fox, and 5 drops Pt for an 8x10 print. My exposure times were 15 minutes. My coated paper and negative were about 2" from my UV lights.
After all of that, my prints still end up washed out. The thing I can't figure out is that the black brush strokes on the border seem dark, (could maybe be darker, not sure) but the shadows in the image are still very light and washed out. So it seems to me that my exposure time is right, but there might be something wrong with my digital negative.
Please have a look. Grateful for any advice!
