250swb Posted August 24, 2012 Share #3 Posted August 24, 2012 Yes the developer used for paper has always been an important part of the process for people who understand that colour hue is as important to the overall 'message' as contrast and tone. Read Ansel Adam's 'The Print' for even more information about warm tone/cool tone. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve That was the old papers, that book was written in the 1940s, modern papers don't have much change with developers. I have never had much luck getting color change with developers alone. Only very subtle differences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get little change of tone if you are using what are now in themselves 'old' style resin coated papers. But there are new bromide and chlorobromide papers that replicate the likes of Agfa Record Rapid, Brovira, Portriga, or Oriental Seagull etc. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted August 25, 2012 Share #7 Posted August 25, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I suggest that if you are going to the trouble of making wet prints, don't use inferior materials - buy fibre-based paper and do it properly.
