I don't know what the commercial market needs or wants, though like you I may have to find out sooner than I'd like. Ugh. But purely from a visual perspective, if you want to use that autochrome filter, and your therapist can't help you with the problem... drop the saturation about 35% or so and you'll get the turn of the last century National Geographic look. Or take it a few steps further and you might be able to get a hand-tint feel out of it. Who knows? It might be popular again; we're certainly forward into the past on any number of other fronts.... (Personally I can't stand the damn thing at all, but then I spent part of yesterday trying to talk myself out of buying a pinhole setup (my own version of "forward into the past," along with binding my own journals) and I've never claimed to actually understand anything much of the marketing world except how to avoid it.) -- R.
