Thanks, John! More are definitely on their way; I'm really loving 8x10.

well yes!


You can "manipulate" or retuch, by using a pencil on the back - or red lipstick if you want to make areas totally white.

An old - almost forgotten, but worth while process.

(It is cheap - very quick, and simple...)

gandolfi, I've been trying paper negatives and it's so much fun. my question is would marking the paper at the back with pencil or red lipstick work with a scanner or it must be contact printed?

best,

^^ It would have to be contact printed if you used red lipstick or pencil for the back of the paper negative. You can always scan it and do your dodging in post production too though.
