I'll throw this open to the floor.
A recently my grandma died and after her stuff was cleared out we found a few old prints, including an old and slightly torn print from her wedding in about 1947. The dense areas of the print are going metallic-looking, starting from the outer areas.
Now I managed to get a passable scan of the print done for posterity and so we could do family a digital copy (we don't have the neg) but I was wondering if there's any any process that can be done to reverse or halt the silvering of the print? I'm guessing the print will not have been toned originally. You guys and gals will have to advise here as I am not a printer so only have a passing understanding of these matters.
Cheers
Dave
