Lith and Ilford MG Fibre Warmtone

[Bob Carnie]

Please excuse what might appear as a dumb question but are you speaking of pulling from the developer or the fix way early?

Bruce

Pull from the developer way early *faint to medium blacks*and watch the contrast explode in the fix. I use rapid fix *not sure if this makes a difference*

I agree with ras351's idea of using Fotospeed lith paper and LD20 what I have found is it gives a better colour, and that glow we all look for, when used much weaker than usual, I have personally gone down as far as 40/1, which gave me a really nice apricot; I also find that a stop bath about twice as strong as normal helps you to avoid the problems you are getting in the fixer.

I like this effect but still want to try the other papers, as well.

I went through the slide show , I like your images, love to see a series printed with the lith of each of the different images , they would hang together nicely.
