Feedback

[Andy Finney <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Very useful feedback from George Smyth who has introduced me to 
NetMechanic (www.netmechanic.com) through whose good offices I have 
already trimmed 8 seconds off my home page download times: so that 
was well worth while. I've gotten lazy in relying too much on 
PhotoShop.

George raised the question of use of the word 'archival' in relation 
to 'real' prints. I was sort of assuming that a print of a kind 
judged good enough for the UK National Portrait Gallery would fit 
George's definition of archival but he rightly warns about bandying 
the word about. A question then for everyone - how should you 
describe a print done on (in this case) Ilford Multigrade IV Fibre 
paper. Should we be going to platinum or selenium or whatever? As a 
non-chemist the pleasures of the darkroom are a bit of a closed book 
to me. Is there an accepted term.

Feeback please.
