Creating Digital Negatives for Contact Printing with Jill Enfield – ONLINE

Sorry, this class is sold out, if you would like to be added to a wait list for this or a possible second section, please email sue@griffinmuseum.org

In order to make many alternative process prints, such as Platinum / Palladium, Cyanotype, Anthotype,  and Phytogram prints, you need to start with a negative the size of what you would like your finished image to be.

Unless you use a large format camera, digital negatives are what you need to use.

In this online workshop, instructor Jill Enfield will demonstrate the steps to take your photographs from your digital camera or phones into Photoshop and through the process of creating a good digital negative to use for contact printing.

There will be plenty of time for questions so that you can get started on your own. The Platinum / Palladium class, in person at the Griffin Museum on May 20/21 may be a perfect place to try out your new digital negatives.
