Not all of the details, but a lot of it. Stop bath is easy, take some grape juice, let it sit, then let it sit some more. Now distill off the acetic acid and dilute it down to the right concentration. We did some photo sensitive silver compounds in high school chemistry. IIRC even AgCl is photo sensitive, but that was back in '76-77 so my memory is a bit rusty. We also likely did the redox that would explain how steel wool would pull silver out of fixer. > > That's what listing all this stuff is akin to. You don't have to know > any of it. Nope, just use that green mode, the camera knows it all for you. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
