The blacks look weak.
You need to soak your Lexar in one once of selenium toner to 31 ounces
water. Warmish water.
Make that two ounces!

You'll get a slight purplish tone to your pixels but the blacks will build
up density making them in effect 48 bit! I think I detect a hint of green
around the gills of these shots anyway!

I hear they're thinking of putting that on the bottle now of Kodaks Rapid
Selenium Toner assuming they still make the stuff.
"NOW 48 BIT!"

FIT MORE PIXIES ON THE HEAD OF A PIN!!
