Video: Ambrotype Scan, Pt-Pd Print

Tonight am trying to print a Ambrotype plate I scanned. Making an 8x10 Platinum-Palladium print. Anyone done that before?

First attempt too contrasty, made a softer neg, will try that next.

Ambrotype sold to the Alberta provincial art collection. I no longer own it.

Drops 14-FO, 13 Pd, 1 Pt Na2. HANH paper

I adjusted the digital negative of this print with -50 contrast and went 100% Platinum. It turned out softer, as expected. I will wash and dry it to see where I am at.
