How does one go about colorizing a B&W print??
I've seen the water color 'kits' in the darkroom section
of my local shop, but am unsure how to go about this....
Do I need to use special paper?? What is involved?
What kind of results can I expect???? What, if any, special/
different equipment is needed???
Thanks for any info, and if you could ALSO respond
directly, as my ISP keeps dropping my photo newsgroups!!!

TIA,
Gene

Peerless makes a water color especially for photgraphic prints. The
colored pigments are impregnated into cardboard and a small pice of the
board is cut off and soaked in water. The tinted water is then brush
applied onto the surface of the print. Unlike other water colors,
Peerless will penetrate into the gelatin and not stay on the surface of
the print. These colors can be used on RC or fiber prints, although I
prefer FB. Of couse the traditional method of coloring prints is with
Marshall photographic oils.

Cheers!
