Re: Solarizing

Depends.

If the reference is to the Sabbatier effect, you give the negative a flash
of low intensity light sometime during development to give the negative a
partial reversal of tones. Obviously a trail and error (or many trials and
many errors!) type exercise that would be best attempted with a copy
negative.

TRUE solarization occurs when the negative is exposed to light many times
above threshold and the areas of negative with the most exposure exhibit
less density that adjacent areas receiving less exposure. A big departure
from linearity. And example would be a shot with the Sun in it (another
name for our sun is Sol as in the Solar System). Of course if you are
experimenting with this phenomena you should never look directly at the sun
or through the viewfinder of your camera, etc., unless you intend to
deliberately and perhaps permanently damage your eyes.
