Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

[premortho]

What is "normal mature film"? If you mean panchromatic film, then yes, a red filter will make the sky dark. On Ortho film the red filter makes the sky go black. A medium yellow (a 2X yellow filter) gives the sky a normal look. The darker yellow the filter, the darker the sky.

Normal mature film works the red filter.

This uninspiring image



is a green X-ray reversed. It is a positive. I've done nothing special just the classic bleaching/clearing and development with a paper developer and it turn out surprisingly good (the scan is bad). Not so useful unless I hang it on the window.

The paper reversal on the other hand is not so easy.

Yes, that is interesting.

Thanks for showing us, what I believe we have not seen before, meaning a Positive X-Ray transparency.

Show us more, when you do more!

I've been doing X-Ray transparency for some time now, but they are all nudes

I see.

How do you like your results?

Seems like a "judgy" phrasing. Anyway I like them fine, exactly as I expected and useful for an art project I'm working on as part of a business plan.

Huh? Did you process that yourself? Or are you enlarging onto it or something? I've done that with poor results, trying x-ray as a substitute for lith film.

Stone, I cannot judge your results from your shared image.

If you notice I never 'judge' any images, I simply say I like them and never say I don't like them. I don't critique.

It was a simple question that only you can answer.

That's all, no persecution intended.
