Split-toning
Sepia-Selenium
Best approach is to tone in sepia first.
- Bleach, preferably in dilute bleach to slow down the process. The use of diluted bleach is to confine the bleaching to the light and middle tones only; a dilution between 1:4 to 1:10 is a good starting point. If the aim is to only tone highlights, a 1:1 dilution is probably more suitable. Bleach by inspection, but for a short time only and without agitation(?).
- Rinse the print in running water for 2 minutes.
- Immerse print in toning bath and agitate for approx 60 sec.
- Rinse the print thoroughly in running water.
- Tone in selenium
- Hypo-clear
- Final wash
Notes
- From experience, it seems like the sepia toning accelerates and becomes more apparent after toning and while rinsing the print.
