Response to Silver Clouding on back of 4x5 negative

from Ed Buffaloe (edb@unblinkingeye.com)
Once this happens, nothing can be done to repair the damage. It might be silver from residual halides that have been reduced. It might also be degradation due to contact with airborne or other contaminants, which can free up ionic silver to be replated in another location. Your best hope for reclaiming the image is probably to scan the negative and retouch in PhotoShop.
