After the thinning the film is washed with water and fixed in a normal fixer
for 5 min. Finally, is rinsed thoroughly with water for 15 min.
The
time control of this procedure seemed to be difficult, because the silver
grains, after thinning, is formed an insoluble compound of silver cyanide and
adhere to the film other dissolve in the solution, and the effect of thinning
can not be seen immediately until fixing. So the appropriate processing time
must be obtained only after experiment.

the film will be thickened by B for approximate time and rinsed by water for 1
min.
After
processed by C for 5 min, the film is developed and fixed normally.

The
soaked photo is first bleached in solution A, when the black image fade away, the photo is rinsed with
water to remove remaining ferricyanide.
Then
the photo is immersed in solution B to be developed a brown image, the density
of which in controlled by the amount of sodium sulfide used. The produced brown
photo in rinsed thoroughly before dried.
Ferricyanide
is a dreadful poison.

These
two solutions are first mixed at equal ratio. Then photo which is previously
soaked with water is immersed in the mixture, the image of the photo will
slowly turn to blue from black, the photo should be immersed in the water for
30 min when the favourable effect is achieved.
There
will be slightly thickening effect in this procedure, so the original photo
should be previously produced lighter than ordinary.

The
photo is first soaked with water and immersed in above processing solution,
standing for 10--15 min, take the photo out of the solution as soon as the
image is turned to a purple tone and rinsed thoroughly with water. If the high
lighting parts of the photo is also colored to be purple, then the rinse
procedure should be prolonged until the color in high lighting parts is washed
off.
Contrary
to the method of blue dying, this method has a slightly thinning effect, so the
photo which is prepared to be purple coloring should be previously produced
darkener than ordinary.

The
photo is first soaked with water and immersed in solution A and processed for
4--5 min and then transferred to solution B for 3 min of coloring. Finally,
the produced photo should be
rinsed with water for 10 min.
Yellow
stains of contamination may appears during above procedure, which can be
cleaned out by treating the photo with 5% nitric acid for minutes.
