Obtaining Color Prints that "Pop"
I am getting back into darkroom work as a hobby, and I remember the
last time I printed (about 10 years ago), my color prints from negatives didn't have the "pop" that came from professional photo finishers. I ran a number of tests with sample negatives printing them both at home and having professional photo finishers print them, and the difference was substantial. To me, the largest thing I could idntify was a lack of contrast in my color prints (from negatives). What can I do to generate that "pop" in my color printing? Making sure the enlarger is alligned, no light leaks, and the lens is good (Schneider Componon-S) helps, but I wonder if it is in my chemistry??? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks so much.
