Can you explain the toning layer to me. Did you simply invert the color image and print it on your substrate?

[ProjectVedos]

More simple than that... no inverting, just print is as it is, saturate the colors as you wish, make a few tests and you're mastering ;)

can i use this technic with salt print , platinum or gum?

[ProjectVedos]

Yes, why not, go ahead and try. Don't know about the advantage in gum where you normally build up colors in separate layers...

This is great! Thanks for taking the time to inform us of a very interesting way to use Van Dyke. I wish you had added the timing for each step of the wet processing. How long is the first wash with citric acid? How dilute is your fixer, and fix for how long? How long in Hypo Clearing Agent?

This was meant to be short demo only. The wet process here was the standard VDB, full instructions found on many web sites, look for alternativephotography or unblinkingeye sites, e.g.
