Thanks for putting out these videos. I was just reading the Tricolor chapter of the Cyanotype Toning book so it's fresh in my mind, but Golaz does recommend a short mild bleach of the final blue layer to help with the color balancing that way. I'm curious what effect that treatment has on the greens vs just starting with a weaker solution to begin with.
The issue I have with bleaching a blue layer no matter how mild is that it shifts the blues to a darker purplish color which I am not saying won't work it just makes it a little harder to predict the outcome. The slight greenish I mentioned does go back to a blue after a week or so. Both her method and mine work just fine I just wanted to make a method with a little more control. For example in gum printing if cyan is to harsh you reduce the amount of pigment but since this isn't a pigment method you can adjust the formula more or less to do something similar.
I am working on the tri color cyanotype video as an addition to what I have already made. It is what I was working towards in the first place and I finally got it to work
