He talked about how he did dye transfer prints while in school and
mentioned another process, carbon I think, that is capable of making
high quality prints. He said that they have a "depth" to them that
makes you almost want to reach out and touch them.
Could someone please tell me where to look for more information and
what I should do to get started? I've seen numerous references to
Luis Nadeau's History and Practice of Carbon Processes in messages
in the group. Is this where I should start? Is there a new version
of this book coming our soon? Where can I get it?
I've been educated as a chemist, but I do most of my work in
computing. I don't mind spending time on something if the end
result exciting to me.
I'm just coming up to speed on 4 x 5 photography. I've been working
on black and white photography, but I'm interested in color. Should
I be shooting color transparencies or negatives to me most compatible
with the color process that I want to use? I'd prefer to start
learning with the appropriate negative to that I can calibrate my
processing.
Thanks, in advance, for your comments.
