Opis

Whether you are an expert in the darkroom, this work aims to offer the tools necessary to control print making. It presents the proper techniques for exposing a print, how to choose the correct paper contrast, and ways to find the best combination of paper and developer for your images. In addition to explaining the procedures, this text contains exercises that help to calibrate each procedure.

Recenzje

this book fills a gap between beginning and advanced photo texts. It is more specific in creating prints using specific chemistry & toners. Display & preservation are also needed topics.

The appendix is very helpful and should be expanded.

Nicely improved. I have used the first edition previously and found it to greatly improve student understanding and output.

"This book contains a great deal of valuable information that I have not found in other textbooks." - Victor chalfant, NW Arkansas Comm. College

"Very well done with wonderful testing ideas."
