Those qualifications would also imply the search for the maximum quality with no matter how difficult or time consuming the method employed is. The operations described in following paragraphs are the employed by the author whether the …

In the precedent post Image Processing for Hybrid Processes II – Digitization with Scanner, I have explained that technological obsolescence is nowadays a serious constrain for a suited digitization, specially with high end level scanners. Even in professional and domestic environments, the use of a digital camera is by now the better and useful way …

Many old or classic photographic processes operates from a negative or a positive at life size of the final print. These intermediate negatives or positives can be traditionally elaborated on photographic film or, taking advantage of the digital image technology, inkjet printed on some suited transparent or translucent media. This later system need a previous …
