Here it is along with a link to the original jpeg I had posted. The non toned picture is just a scan from the negative. The toned one is a scan from an 11X14 print on Agfa fibre based paper. Since my scanner will not fit such a large print, you only get to see a section of the toned print. http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/baby-selenium-sepia.jpg http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/baby.jpg The print was first washed after fixing, hypo cleared and then washed twenty minutes. It went from the wash to 1-10 berg selenium toner for five minutes. It was then washed again for twenty minutes and taken from that wash and put in the bleach part of Kodak sepia toner for eight minutes and then washed for a few minutes and redeveloped in the sepia toner. After all this it was washed for thirty minutes and hung to dry and later dry mounted. All this washing is much shorter if you use resin coated paper. Regards, Robert Stevens Halifax, Nova Scotia
