I tried it last night and the first print looks pretty darn good. A little
tweaking should bring it right in there.
For those who weren't there, Keith gave a presentation on making inkjet
negs colorized with a Pyro-like greenish cast. His approach basically
follows Danny B's method using the color table approach, except Keith uses
C-M-Y-K values of 0-45-100-51 and he has developed his own curve that is
quite different from Dan's. He also stressed the importance of a good 16-
bit scan and keeping the image in 16-bit mode as long as possible,
especially when adjusting tone distribution with curves or levels.
Also, he has only made these negs with an Epson 1280, so it's likely
additional tweaking will be necessary on other printers.
I saw several of Keith's palladium prints made from these negs up close and
they were VERY nice.
I also very much enjoyed Russ Young's talk. He's a wonderful speaker and
it's great fun hearing him turn the history of photography according to
Newhall on it's ear.
