Is it a scientific test. NO ! but i tried to show you the differences using three different fixers.
The result ? Well they are close to each other. The KCN gives a bit more yellow look.
Can you call it warmer ? Maybe, but the differences are really close.
The other two show a little bit more magenta/red tone. But again, it's close.
Just one remark. It looks like the KCN also has a bit influence on the exposure ???!!!
It looks just a tad brighter.
If you make two identical pictures (which is almost impossible with collodion) and you lay them side by side you might notice some difference. But when showing just a single plate for me it is almost impossible to tell wich fixer was used.
From left to right
1. Amaloco x89
2. KCN fixer
3. Natrium Thiosulfat (HYPO)
First i precutted a plate so it was easy to break it after the developing stage.
Three fixers. from bottom to the top : Amaloco, KCN, Natrium
After developing
Again, from left to right : Amaloco, KCN, Natrium Thiosulfate
Plates were still wet.
Plates were still wet.
when dry the diffence is even closer.
