Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to use the Diaphoto retouching colours? (Especially regarding the correct dilution of the colours)
My Diaphoto developer isn’t working. How do I do it properly?

Hello,
Which colours are you referring to exactly? What does it say on the bottle? What do you want to retouch – colour or black and white?
Kind regards,
Dieter Schuld

Hello
Well, I put a drop of brown-black and a drop of blue-black on a small plate. I dab a wet brush into it and then perform dilution with water until the shade is right.
Once it’s right, apply it to the spot (but it’s better to start a little too light). And, yes, just a tiny bit of colour on the brush – don’t make it too wet. Then let it dry. The colour will soak into the print.
That’s how I do it with my Adox Polywarmton RC papers.
Just give it a go!
Have fun
Regards, Martin

I only retouch black and white photos.
I have the black and white kit, the developer and the fixer.
How exactly am I supposed to use the developer?
Do I fix first, then develop, or what?
How long should I leave the developer on for?
