How do you get brown tones on a black and white roll?

<p>Hello everyone. Justin there are actually two methods of getting a brown tone to photographic paper. As mentioned, sepia toning is the most popular. Be aware that this is a two step process. First you bleach the paper & then sepia tone it- two chemical baths. The bleaching will control the deepness of the resulting brown.<br>

The second method is a prolonged immersion with selenium toner. "Normally" with selenium, one removes the paper just as a noticeable toning occurs. This color is a blue-black. If immersed longer than this first noticeable toning, the color will proceed to a brown. Very different than the sepia color.<br>

Either toning process will impart an "archival" quality to the print, IF the print is hypo free to start. <br>

I have included a print with light brown toning, which is labeled "Bandicot" in my software.<br>
