"classic" black and white films
In article . net,
"Nicholas O. Lindan" wrote: "Greg "_"" wrote I tend to agree, often you see even in new reproduction work imagery that is "better" than the silver print.... I have a few AAdams originals and books with the same works. The quality of the images is noticeably better in the books. Somewhere he writes: "I spend much more time on a print if I know it will be used for reproduction." [quoting from memory, but IIRC that was the gist of it]. Paul Strand considered his books to be his prints. mainly because lots of fudging goes into some high end repro work. Fudging? Fudging? As in dodging, burning, masking, unsharp masking, hot developer, cold developer, water bath developer, massage, ferricyanide retouching, bleaching -- everything just short of taking a brush and painting the image in -- that we all do in the darkroom isn't fudging? I know: 'Tonal Corrections'. They do pretty much the same thing at the printers, just with a dot-screen in front of the negative. Yes fudging at the printers.....and especially now that photoshop rules the roost. -- The sometimes insomniac. www.gregblankphoto.com |
