Liquid Sunshine! Bleaching Prints with Ferricyanide (Farmer's Reducer).

Want to give your photographs that little extra 'something'? Here's an age old technique to make them pop! Liquid sunshine is a home made solution called Farmer's Reducer made from Hypo and potassium ferricyanide. It can lift the highlights of your darkroom prints giving them extra sparkle and contrast.

Prints should be normally washed after developing and fixing before bleaching.

The liquid sunshine has hypo (fixer) already in the formula so no need to refix after using.

Do give your prints a thorough re-wash after for the full length of time. This will ensure there's no bleach left in the print emulsion.
