Yep, no worries Marshall. The reason I ask is cos I read about both these substances, and in my reading I always find they both appear somehow to tie in with photography. I'm just curious as to how, and/or what possible interactions there may be if consuming any or both of these with the ingestion of EIS/CS? I believe I've touched on this subject on occasion in the past, but still not clear about it. I know selenium is always recommended with EIS {although I've never involved myself with it in all the years of my ingestion of EIS/CS} I'm just having difficulty in getting a better understanding of both for determining if there could be any possible link with colouration. I'ts not my intention to incite any debate on the subject, just continueing my reading when the subject crops up in conversation in the hope that I can find some more definitive explanations of the two, in combination with the stuff we use {and possibly any differentiation between ionic and particulate combined with the above}. It's OK, I just thought I'd put the question out there again. I'll keep reading for more information each time it crops up in conversation, eventually I guess I'll get a better understanding. Praps I'm just not reading appropriate material? I also have a feeling information may be a bit scarce when including EIS/CS into the picture. I just have this gut feeling about it that's all. N.

Is vitamin C ascorbic acid? It can be ascorbic acid or an ascorbate, such as sodium ascorbate. Is this the stuff used in photography developing?No developer is used for developing. Acetic acid is normally used as a stop, that is basically vinegar. But any acid will work. Marshall Or is it a different form? And Selenium? Are there differences between that which is found naturally and ingested with foods and is taken as a supplement, to that which is used in photography? N.
