That sounds great Cynthia.

Now in the ol days.......
We used to partially develop and image, take it out of the developer, wash it off with running water (pre drought worrying days) then pour a little developer on the highlight (as in a bright stained glass window) and move it around that area with your fingers, and when it came up enough, wash it off again, then lay it back into the developer leaving it still until the whole image came up.

This not only brought up the image in the highlight area, but also aded a bit of extra contrast to it as well.

THEN, they brough out the papers in which you could change contrast using filters in the enlarger, that way you could add contrast to a washed out area using a Grade 4-5, by burning in, then hold back another using a Grade 1-2 again by burning in, then give the whole image a quick Grade 3 touch.

Gee I am glad we have digital. (sigh) But at least I know how to use it properly too from my old darkroom days.
