    Dominik,

    I use the Wet Plate process or Collodion process to make negatives.

    The beauty of an unfixed salt print. Washed only. Fabriano Artistico HP. Whole Plate negative. It could have done with a bit more sun but its a grey old day.

No color change but I use release paper and sandwich with board.

    From the prints I've seen of yours you get neutral tones in your salt prints. I was only able to get neutral tones in my first three prints. I ran those under the hot iron and didn't observe a change in color. It seems only prints with a brown/chocolate tonality change to a cooler brown.
    Albumen prints change a little and seem to go back to their original color.
    One thing I noticed yesterday is all of the albumen prints have been changing to cooler tones after a week.

    Ramiro,

    I tone my prints with gold and/or platinum to achive the tones I want. Three is no subsequent change in coloration.

    Re: The Salt Print Thread

    Getting close...going to play with adding potassium dichromate in the next few prints. I'm going to let this one wash and dry before I determine an exposure time.

    Any ideas on potassium dichromate altering exposure times? I remember that it does a little in pt/pd, but can't remember reading anything about that with salt.

    Re: The Salt Print Thread

    Hi Kimberly - nice image. Perhaps the lightening in the second image is due to the image not being toned? I tone all my prints and never get a shift either in color or tone.

    Here's an image that I recently printed:



    The top half was burned-in a for a couple of minutes while dodging the bottom half and toned with gold and platinum.

    Re: The Salt Print Thread

    Yes, we shall see. I will play with some gold chloride toner tomorrow. I am happy where I'm at right now but want to refine it just a tad with the toner and some contrast increase.

    Re: The Salt Print Thread

    Try doing the bulk of your exposure in the open shade and then finishing it off with a direct blast of sunlight. I now expose to the open shade for 20 minutes and then from 1 to 3 or 4 minutes to the direct sun while checking the exposure every minute or so. The slow exposure is said to increase contrast.
