Ilford Selenium Toner 1L

I was a bit worried about over-toning, but a 1:9 dilution for just 4 minutes gave my prints that beautiful, subtle warmth without losing the highlights. The contrast boost is exactly what my flat negatives needed.

After about 10 minutes in a 1:20 dilution, the blacks on my fiber prints really started to deepen without losing any highlight detail. I’ve been able to dial in exactly the look I want by just adjusting the time.

Toning for just a few minutes in this gave my fiber prints a noticeably deeper, richer black without losing any shadow detail. The way the contrast and density increase is exactly what I was hoping for when working with Multigrade IV paper.
