RE: Vandyke colors?

Loris, et.al.

That is very true. The scans look very different between the 3 computers I use regularly. But, I think one can get a relative sense of the differences between.

Also, these were done using Mac gamma rather than pc so they may appear dark and contrasty to others.

Actually, you can't be sure about the colors as long as the scanner and
monitors (post-processing workstation's and yours) aren't properly
calibrated and profiled.

Subject: Vandyke colors?

Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone can direct me to image realised with the Vandyke
process where I could compare the colors resulting from various toners.
Looking at http://www.alternativephotography.com/process_vandyke.html
there is no way to tell which is which. I like those colors, if someone
know how they where done this would be fine. I haven't toned mine yet
(only a few tests) but the color I get is is no where near what is shown
there. I assume toning would change that and since describing colors
with words is highly subjective I'd prefer to see colors then reading
about them, if possible of course. I know in the end I'll have to find
my own way around but this would considerably reduce experimentation,
time and cost so if you can help I would appreciate greatly.

Thanks
Yves
