Many times I get questions about āsoakingā so I decided to make an article about it. Ā First of all I want to warn everyone that I donāt give oneās word about the result and receipts - you have to remember about the risks and that you can destroy your film. I was lucky not to āruinā none of my first rolls, but I successfully destroyed some of them when I thought I was experienced in soaking.
What is āsoakingā?In the simplest terms itās a chemical action to change the structure of the film/emulsion. All this can lead to color reorganization, stains , blotchiness and any other visual āturnsā. Usually we influence with temperature or liquids. All this possible only because of Ā āaliveā structure of the film.
