I know. My grandfather was the only wedding photographer in this area at the time. But he used to tint the prints with a weak solution of tea. And then he had little bookets of paper which he used to tint water and used that to dye the prints. Isn't the sepia tint a natural thing that happens to old photo's anyway? or has this been designed out of modern papers? The pencils I have are the Derwent watercolour ones. If you wet them first or wet the artwork later they work the same as watercolour paints or translucent inks. I tried on colour prints and they work fine as long as you use a fixative or laminate the print. Are the inks you using the only available ones and are they sold in an shop or as a photgraphic item? I work as a graphic designer, all day, sometimes 18hr shifts, the last thing I want to do is edit on photopaint. Excluding the drum scan time it would take me 20 minutes to do it on a PC. And that unfortunately would negate the purpose of my whole intent in the first place - make sense?? Thanks Feroze "Where Angels Fear Thread"
