Although there has been a huge move towards digital cameras and
mobile phones with cameras because of their obvious convenience,
there is no doubt that prints produced in the darkroom still yield
the best photographic quality. There is still a large contingent of
photographers who prefer to develop and print their own images and
it is for this reason that this book has been written. The book is
based on over 20 years experience as a professional darkroom
printer for black and white and colour hand printing. It is written
and published by me and is not available anywhere else. The book
contains no fluff or padding - just hard information. It tells you
why things go wrong, how to avoid the problem in the future and how
to cure the fault. It consists of a mass of reference information
collected over this time and is designed to provide instant
information in the darkroom whenever answers are required quickly.
It is a book written by a darkroom professional for darkroom
enthusiasts. Here is one of the many topics in the book that you
may find useful: If filter adjustments are made that result in all
three filters being used, an element of neutral density is formed
which reduces the amount of light reaching the paper. This does
nothing to change the colour of the light. It just increases the
exposure time unnecessarily. It is recommended that neutral density
be removed to keep exposure time to a minimum. Colour head is set
to: 70 Y 50 M 10C Remove. 10 Y 10 M 10C Result. 60 Y 40 M 0C Use
this result for your new filter settings to reduce exposure time
