Re: Artists' tape
I do exactly as you do! Yes, that's not elegant but works well enough. On the other hand, coating a slightly larger area and then masking it with rubylith (or with a white border in the digital positive file) is a better practice to be sure that your processing (development and more importantly clearing) is good enough. Could be omitted, if you're absolutely sure about your processing. But it's always better to be on the safe side... (Reminding that I also do as you do -> but with a weird feeling in my stomach ;) Regards, Loris. 16 Nisan 2009, Perşembe, 5:59 pm tarihinde, Paul Viapiano yazmış: > Morning everyone... > > I use 3m blue low-tack painter's tape...and here's what I do.
