My question is can >they be intensified? I've never tried and don't know anything about the Ansel Adams' book "The Negative" has a section on selenium toner being used to intensify negatives. His negative for "Moonrise Hernandez" was intensified in the foreground with selenium toner. It was badly underexposed when he couldn't find his light meter. He based the exposure on the moon, and the foreground was badly underexposed. You'll find the intensification really helped. It's a gorgeous print when he does it. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch He prayeth best, who loveth best all things both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.
