    for your thoughtful comments. I just increase contrast and adjust the hue in PhotoShop. The emulsion has a nice look if you blast the scene with light and underexpose. After I develop and peel the emulsion away from the print, I usually blast it with light for a few seconds to solarize it more. Then I scan it while it's still wet. The cool thing is, the emulsion dissolves slowly sometimes while I'm scanning, or at least scannig ruins it beyond re-scanning. So the original "negative" disappears and all you have left is this virtual image as evidence.

    I use Polaroid 3000 speed peel-apart film and scan the emulsion side, not the print. I scan it wet by floating it in a thin layer of water on the scanner bed. Overexposed parts tend to look like a negative while underexposed parts look positive. Somewhere in the middle, you get a little solarization.

    Well, that cat IS a black blob. The only thing not black on him are his whiskers and eyes, which were closed. It's been a problem. His face was in shadow too, unfortunately. But I have to document him. He is 19 years old! So I thought I'd try the abstract aproach. More to come....

    This is a scan of the emulsion side of a Polaroid 676 (3000 speed) 4x5

    image. The emulsion had a negative quality (they don't always). I

    used PhotoShop's Auto Levels and the Solarize filter to get this final

    somewhat positive, somewhat duotone image. What kind of sensation does

    it give you visually and aesthetically?
