Photographer & Printmaker / A Hybrid Place About Early Photography and Digital Imaging
Posts describing different techniques on capturing and processing images
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 …

A lot of literature has been written about the best way to inkjet printing life size negatives or positives, both intended for the so called alternative photographic processes. From the early days of digital image printer models to current photographic quality printers, a lot of proposals have been developed. Some of those methods were based …

Although the technological obsolescence is nowadays a serious constrain for a suited digitization, specially with high end level scanners, I will explain some hints and tips useful for the current medium and high level scanners still available. The first question to be aware about the scanner performance is the actual possibilities to penetrate a given …

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 media. This later system need a previous digitization of …
