I stand corrected.
Another way of putting it is that it's easier to realize shadow detail without everything beyond facial tones turning into solid paper white; without having to do insane fiddling with 'levels' or paper-grade filters and water-bath development. Unless you're printing with alternative methods, which is a different story.
Sigh -- it is a scan of the negative. Finances prevent a real dark room that can achieve actual darkness during the day. That and a day job.....
I actually have a Gum kit from photo-forumulary, but have only had the chance to gaze at it longingly....
One day. one day...
Hang in there. It is frustrating not having a darkroom. I make the best of my two bedroom apartment. That will make a nice print, I can tell. Congratulations.
