Re: another 3 layer gum attempt



Ha!! I needed to laugh...believe me...

Here is a combination of photo-negative-print that I was working on today. Trying to dial in my negative, exposure, etc...you know the drill.

What I would love is some feedback at this point, as I feel I'm flying blind after trying several tricolor gums that always turn out too light. I've made some adjustments to the neg, etc and here is what I have right now.

The neg is Blue (printing Yellow)...please feel free to comment on the density of the neg, the "look" of the Yellow print, or anything else that catches your eye. Am I on the right track or does somethng look terribly wrong here? I mean, I really don't know what the yellow layer should look like re: contrast, density...

Much thanks in advance for your observations...now back to the Scotch!

Paul

Paul,
The suggested order would be
1. Procure the bottle of whatever liquor
2. Start drinking
3. Expose test wedge
4. Keep developing your gum test and keep drinking
5. When the bottle is finished you should examine test prin
6. All of the sudden it will all be clear, even if for a brief moment
Enjoy
