Hmmm ... didn't see this one on the list. The technique you mentioned Paul is called flashing, and it's certainly more controlled than fogging. I agree 100% wrt using fogged paper unless just for experimental purposes or perhaps for some special effects.. Although I've never tried it, nor have I looked into it, perhaps ferracyaniding might be helpful in some small way? Can't imagine that it would be very helpful, if at all, but maybe to some small degree?
