If you find it necessary to take your prints out of thedeveloper to prevent them from getting too dark, you areover-exposing, while, if they will not get dark enough, withoutstaining, you are under-exposing. Now, having determined our correct exposure by one ortwo test pieces, give our two prints the correct exposure anddevelop one in A and one in B. The print A (Figure i) willdevelop very quickly, but will be very soft, the shadows willnot be dense black, but of a blue-gray color, nor will the high

Now let us develop the other sheet in B (Figure 2). Thiswill develop much slower, the whole paper seeming to fogover at first, and both the shadows and high lights graduallybuild up the former to a dense reddish black, and the latterto clear white, which shows that this developer would be theproper one for flat negatives, as it will increase the contrasts. 154 Now let us mix equal quantities of A and B together, andtry a third sheet with the same exposure, and we will get astill different result—a combination of the two, not so soft asA alone, nor so harsh as B alone. The proportions of A andB can be varied to produce just the right effect desired. Now let us try another experiment. We will expose an-other sheet of paper, but instead of giving it a normal expo-sure we will g
