Re: color printing for dummies
i really don't like your condescending tone of voice here. you neither know me or how much time and effort i spent. you make it sound like i did a "i'm feeling lucky"-google search and went whining to the list, when i didn't come out lucky. i was looking for a very basic piece of information which was (in my eyes) strangely omitted in all the tutorials i found (except for sam wang's - but which was ob rgb, not cmyk). i've read the "rgb vs. cmyk" -thread, sam wang's tutorial, katherine's site and a lot more. and i didn't ask for "please, give me lots of free information to perfect my colour printing", i asked a question which seemed to be too basicto be included, that's why i asked about it here and i apologized for my ignorance. i would have asked it on apug, but i didn't dare it, because it's a half digital and half analog question. and there seems to be no activity on the hybrid photo site. if you scroll down a little in your mailbox, you'll find my first post on this list, in which i already ordered the PF-issuses. and later on a discussion on how much of a hassle it is to get them to europe. i already went out of my way to order the darkroom book by bruce barnbaum this year (which a friend brought me from the states, because it would be pretty much impossible without his help) and it's not only a matter of being a cheapskate (although we're talking around $150 altogether (postage, customs and bank fees) for a $40 book here), it also takes months to arrive. and no, we don't have libraries with that kind of books here. so please don't call me lazy or a freeloader, if you have no idea what you are talking about... phritz jefulton1 schrieb: On Feb 10, 2009, at 7:51 AM, phritz phantom wrote:i really need some help here. i searched the internet for hours yesterday, to no avail. could someone recommend me a good tutorial for color printing for alternative processes (esp. gum printing)?Well, holy smokes, I'd read extensively the past threads of this list, buy Chris Anderson 's 2 present books
