QTR-Quadtone RIP

Paul, That may be because he actually used platinum. Many "platinum" prints
made today are made with well over 90% palladium. They are called plating
prints because the printer chooses to use a name that has a higher profile.
There are color changes based on humidity of the paper at time of printing,
type of paper, type of developer, and even kind of light source. They may
have been toned with gold too.

A couple of years ago the LA central library had a great exhibit of the
Getty's Edward Weston collection. Many of his silver prints on display were
warmer than most of his earlier platinum prints -- rather the opposite of
what I expected.
