I was talking to another photographer yesterday, and they mentioned Pyro staining of negatives after they had been developed and fixed normally, i.e. in a non-pyro developer. They couldn't elaborate on the process, just that they'd heard of it.(posted 9007 days ago)I assume that this would involve using a re-halogenating bleach bath, and then re-developing in Pyro.
Has anyone tried this? If so what were the results like?
This could be a useful technique, say if you only wanted a couple of images on a roll Pyro developed. Or it could be the answer to the hardening and fixing problem mentioned elsewhere in this forum. It might even result in a stronger stain than PMK development.
