My wife has a print that someone gave her several years ago and it is starting t o turn goldish in the black areas. I'm not sure, but my gut feeling is that it was not completely washed and had some fixer left that is now oxidizing (althoug h I could be completely wrong).
My question is, is there anything I can do to save this print? Can I re-wash it , or re-fix and re-wash? What will eventually happen to the print if nothing is done?
Worst case scenerio, I plan to photograph the photograph on 4x5, and try to repr oduce it, but I would prefer to fix the print itself if possible.
I think the print is on RC, but I'm not positive (it's in her office, so I haven 't looked at it in a while).
Thanks
