Amazing. I followed exactly your instructions. But what i did different: i prepared three developer baths with different dye inks from my inkjet printer (magenta, cyan and yellow) and repeated the process three times (once for every colour) in total darkness. Now i have a perfectly fine replacement for all of my instax film! It's amazing! Thank you!

Maybe next year reversal self developing paper to put into medium/large format camera? :D

That’s fascinating. How do you determine roughly when your developer is spent and ready for this? Does it depend on the number of prints that you’ve made with it? …Oh hang on just looked at the date. You totally got me.

@@guillermoperezsantos I was even thinking ‘how is that going to work’ as I was watching, but John’s delivery was just so calm and serious I fell for it. There are so many weird reversal techniques etc, this seemed ‘plausible’, well for a minute at least. lol.

Okay, you got me good. I've been doing my own processing for 66 years, and I've got a better than most familiarity with the chemistry involved. As I first watched this, I kept saying to myself that the chemistry of this simply couldn't work. Also, at this point in life, I like to think that I've seen or heard it all, but nothing like this. Then, I reset my watch to April 1 and started rewatching to leave a comment, and all was revealed. Better than the home processing kit for Kodachrome demonstrated on another channel a few years ago.

I was playing some of your videos and added it to the queue and started it believing it at the beginning, somehow. We don’t do April fools here (we do it 28th december), you got me!!! 😂😂😂

Thank you for a brilliant idea! I just prepared 100 Ilford portfolio sheets 16x20 such way. Hope it will work, I’m so tired of doing it in a classic way..

I started watching without reading the title. Analog photography is a kind of magic for me, and the video was so serious and explainatory. One thing that bothered me was bathing non-developed paper into a fixer :) But I watched till the end as a educational video :D

Fantastic! As soon as I noticed the new video from Pictorial Planet on Monday morning (USA) I started watching it. But, at around 1:30 my ears started perking up and by 2:00 I thought, wait a minute, when did John publish this? Sure enough, April 1st! Then I watched the rest of the video. Love it! Thanks for the effort of putting this together 🙂

After recovering from my gullibility I now want to know if you could use an enlarger with a Polaroid.

@hoggif 10 ай бұрын

I'm happy to see how that is made at home. I surely have to give it a try, almost out of my commercial old stock.

Always learning something new . Negative exposure has to be right on . My question is this technique archival ?

@matthewsmith5883 10 ай бұрын

Great demonstration! It would be much more practical if this technique worked every day of the year, instead of just on the 1st of April. For some it may be worth waiting and doing all of their printing on one day.

Awesome, this is great :D Could you make a video of the developers with the best aftertaste next, or the most crunchy films :D?

I was dreaming up making some 4x5" sheet for shooting LF when the penny dropped 😆

@johnbelcher7955 10 ай бұрын

Thank you!!! I work with disadvantaged people in a hostel and have done pin-hole photography with them, using paper as negatives, but in work, the use of chemicals is difficult/problematic, and calibrating the exposure time may take a few attempts. Many thanks
