Description/Notes:

A lot of learning here, good progress. a good mess up..

  • it seems like theres a balance between emulsion/sizing thickness being too much or too little
    • PVA - too little and an image may not form (should test this to faliure), too much and emulsion falls off
    • Emulsion - too thin and no image forms, too thick and emulsion falls off.

My guess is that the right side of the image had too much sizing on it, which caused the developed image to wash away..

research idea: how to bleach away potential FAO stains

  • task verify that chiba stains on whites are from FAO and not pigment by using blue pigment chiba photography ✅ 2025-02-06
