Creating Digital Negatives with Jill Enfield (Online)
March 20 – March 27
In order to make Platinum/Palladium or other Alt Process 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.
This two-session workshop will be virtual, and the instructor will go through each step from how to take your photographs off your camera or your phones, put them into photoshop, and start working on how to make a good negative to printing it out the final product.
There will be plenty of time for questions in each session, so that you can get started on your own.
Required materials:
1. One or more images that you are interested on working with
2. Photoshop will be discussed so that you can work in layers
3. An inkjet printer
4. Transparency film: You can buy pictorico – inkpress – almost any transparency film. Pictorico is expensive, inkpress is thin and sometimes hard to get to go into your printer. This film is cheap, but difficult to find on their website. (I think it may be the same as pictorico).
