did it last night after seeing fragomeni's idea on apug to do this....

I was already developing film, so I did it while the film was rinsing....

I tried it on an unexposed but not tossed type 55 pn print...was very dark.

bleached 5mg/l 50/50 with hypo...like less than a minute brought it right up there...AND the blacks are still black black....took a dark pic that would need to be scanned to fix and fixed it proper...nice increase in contrast.

this gives a method to PUSH polaroid film!!!!! develop "by inspection" too!!!!!

SAVE THEM DARK ONES...

OH--this implies that INTENSIFICATION willalso work...save them overexposed ones too!!!!!

the increse in contrast make it look even more like a WEEGEE pic too!!!! great effect...especially with the very black blacks...

slight pee-color after stain compared to non-bleached NOTE NOTE

Unless you coat them they will eventually fade or bronze as I recall.
