1. Make it look right on the screen.
2. IFlip it horizontally
3, Invert it
4. Print it on a thin paper.
5. Make your gum print (emulsion to emulsion).
You did not need special adjustment curves foir a film negative, You do not
need them for a digital negative. It is just that everone has become so
obsessed with curves that they do not stop to think for themselves whether they need
them or not.
You vary the exposures and the pigments to achieve what you want. But then I
prefer to have most of my exposures or development times to the minute or
couple of minute.mark rather than have three and a half hour development times,
At the risk of being called pompous, there is a full explanation on my web
site. I will be bring the word to Pittsburgh next spring. I am planning my
workshops for the next few months at the moment.
