Call it Ferri bleaching or liquid sunshine there is no doubt that the magic of Ferricyanide bleaching can save a print or bring out the highlights.
My back story, recently I had a Lith session, from that session some prints didn’t come out the way that I had imagined. Likewise with a darkroom session where I was testing out my home-made warm tone developer. (I have video and articles on this blog concerning both of those topics if you are interested.)
I think most folks after a darkroom print sessions, they tend to have some prints that didn’t work out the way they wanted. So instead of dumping those failed prints, set them a side for experimentation. So talk about the darkroom secret which started way back in 1884 – Farmers Reducer.
