is gelatin silver "neutral"

2005-02-20 by john dean

I don't want to beat this horse to death becaue it isn't that important.

But, two of the  toned gelatin silver prints that I just mentioned looked a tiny bit green to 
me in daylight - the Jerry Uelsman I have and one of my own Ilford Gallerie toned prints 
from 15 years ago - well under tungsten light they both have a slight selenium cast ( very 
pleasing ) from the toning they had done to them, when seen under this warm light. I've 
always known that there was some metamerism in type c prints but I swear I never thought 
about straight gelatin silver fiber prints having it. But they do! Everything does so some 
degree.
