Precision
Digital Negatives & the Platinum/Palladium Print
In San
Francisco
Four Day
Hands On Workshop
Monday,
November 3 — Thursday, November 6, 2008
With Mark
Nelson
This will be an exciting workshop with a lot of new information.
Not only will you learn the PDN system and use it to successfully make
beautiful Platinum/Palladium prints, but also you should go home with the
knowledge and skills to use this system with your own workflow and equipment
for Platinum/Palladium and other alternative photographic printing processes.
We will cover:
* Calibration of the alternative process to make a digital
negative.
* Conversion of RGB images to monochrome.
* A simple workflow for preparing images to make negatives.
* Crafting digital negatives.
* Making Hybrid Curves with Curve Calculator II.
* The best methods of tweaking chemistry & negative to make
the perfect print.
* Maximizing tonality in prints.
* How to coat, print, and successfully process Platinum &
Palladium prints—it’s foolproof!
* The latest information from my work on controlling humidity and
PT/PD emulsion speed!
