Awesome video. I’ve been experimenting with shooting direct to paper over quarantine. Scanning and inverting is easy enough, but reversal is the next step for me, so this video will be a great help when I finally try it!
Really nice work! Thanks for sharing your process with us. I’m very interested in how you lightened the photo after your final developing. I will have to give that a try!
thank you. to lighten the print, I just used some of the used bleach from the bleaching stage and maybe dilute 3-5 times. Say maybe add add 300ml of water to 100ml of bleach . We need diluted bleach otherwise the bleaching effect maybe too fast and bleach away more than what we want. Then I pour in the diluted bleach and agitate the bleach around the print. Once I see the print bleach to the intensity I want, I quickly pour it away and wash it with water.
@@AnaloguePT Thanks for this! I’ll give it a try - I’m using peroxide so I’ll need to experiment a bit. I’ve used this lockdown to do a lot of experiments with reversal prints.
I have a question. Is sodium bisulfate and ootassium permanganate that you use are in powder form? If so can you me the formula for working solution. Thanks very much in advance, Cheng.
16grams of sodium bisulfate to 250ml water. 1g of potassium permanganate to 250ml. Pour bisulfate solution solution to potassium permanganate solution.
@@reynaldocastaneda4712 u can reuse for a few prints. U can test the strength by cutting a strip of unwanted print and put it in the bleach and if it bleaches away the time
no it is not. The bleach used in this video is potassium dichromate based. You can refer to this blog where i learnt. cherrykino.blogspot.com/2013/07/new-way-of-developing-bw-reversal-film.html?m=1. . Do handle dichromate with care though.
Great video .. thanks for showing every step. Can you tell us what you are using for bleach and how are you mixing it (proportions?) You said you used to use potassium permanganate, but the video cuts to another scene before you told us what the new one is that you use! Thanks again.

Thanks for watching. I use the biggest aperture at f7 and 0.5 secs. I metered at iso 3 for the paper and add like 3 steps to it but i think it will need more for reversal.
thank you. it is the dichromate based bleach so not sure if it is easy to get the chemicals on your end. you can refer to this blog where I picked up the recipe and the usual safety reading ; cherrykino.blogspot.com/2013/07/new-way-of-developing-bw-reversal-film.html
Love the video! Such a sweet photo!
Thank you for watching!
Your model is adorable! Lovely to see the 2d at work. Thanks for sharing🙂
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, Cheng!

Thanks for watching. Am experimenting with reversal too. Let me know how urs goes.
Love your channel bro, you experiment as lot like me. Much respect
thank you for the sub. wow you have a lot of content on yr channel. certainly quite a few I need to watch them slowly later.
@@AnaloguePT thanks so much my man. I feel the same about your experiments . Definitely gonna check out more of your work

me too. i guess this is a good time to do so. stay safe , stay healthy

@@AnaloguePT thanks for the info my friend.
One more thing, can I reuse the bleach after processing one 8x10 print? Thanks Cheng.

Thanks a lot bro!
Nice! I have almost the same camera but the 5x7 View No.2 :) I'm in the prosses of getting it shooting (It is a neglected family heirloom)
Thank you. The hardwood is so hard that I thiNk it will last a few hundred years after me. Hope you have fun with yr 5x7.
Could you overexpose and under develop for and better tonal range?
Never tried that before. My guess is you can use a weaker dilution developer n developby sight. Some will use preflash to control.
Wow so cool. Is it normal cleaning bleach you used?
no it is not. The bleach used in this video is potassium dichromate based. You can refer to this blog where i learnt. cherrykino.blogspot.com/2013/07/new-way-of-developing-bw-reversal-film.html?m=1. . Do handle dichromate with care though.

What was your exposure setting for camera? Beautiful portrait and thank you for this video!

Another great video, well done. But can you tell the bleach recipe? Thanks and keep the awesome channel. Cheers 👍
