This is the second image printed in the 8"x10" format. These prints are proving out that the 8x10 format is superior to the larger print images. This print continues the same printing setup, developing in sodium citrate for a warm toned print before toning in palladium, which actually cools the image slightly, although opening up the middle tones, brightening the highlights and deepening the blacks.
The treatment I use for preparing the image before printing a negative, generally, only converts an RGB image to a long scaled 'black & white film', followed by reversing the image for printing, flip to a negative image, then a final addition of an adjustment curve. The negative is pretty much scaled to print for 8 minutes.
