Description
Digital Negatives: Using Photoshop to Create Digital Negatives for Silver and Alternative
Process Printing bridges the world of traditional
photographic printing with digital technology. A digital negative, prepared in Photoshop, allows you to skip the dark room time developing
the negatives—getting straight to a variety of printing processes including silver, platinum, and a host of other “alternative” processes.
You will see this as an opportunity to mix technology with traditional photo processes resulting in more time for your art! In the recent
past, photographers that wanted digital negatives had to take their business to labs. Now all of you Photoshop users can incorporate
this practice into your workflow of choice.
Audience:
Moderately advanced students of fine art photography. Potential readers include both students experienced in the fine art wet darkroom
who wish to use digital technology, and digital students who wish to experiment with traditional techniques.
