A Holga negative that is not easy to print. The sky is very dense with little structure, the dark areas show definition, but if the exposure is such that the sky shows slight grey values, the shadows run without definition.
The aim of the experiment with the lith two-bath technique is to prevent a strong darkening of the shadows when exposing to the highlights. A long exposure time is needed for the highlights and a developer that is braked more than usual (with Lith D) to slow down the development of the shadows.

In this case, a short rinse with water is not sufficient because then all densities, especially the shadows, would darken considerably within seconds. So an acidic stop bath must be used, followed by two rinses to neutralise the acid. Then the second bath, the catechol developer (20ml Catechol new + 20 ml Lith B as alkali + 10ml NH4Cl + 700ml water) follows for 5 minutes. Here the highlights in particular are developed in colour, the shadows also become somewhat darker, but still show the separation created in the lith.

When gold toning is planned, the print must be slightly lighter than the untoned print on the left hand side, because the density increases enormously during toning.
