Darkroom print. Cant get the colour the same as the print. I either get it too pink or too green, the actual print has a nice subtle sepia tone and is better detail.
Sepia and selenium, dodge and burns and bleaching.
My sympathies, awty. As Reginald says this looks like nice toning but from what you say about the scan, what we see is not the same as the print. So the print may, in my naked eye judgement, look either better than what I see here or worse.
I welcome your frankness. In the past I have seen other scans of "prints" that prompted me to ask "how" was it done, only to get the answer that I was looking at a neg scan that had been manipulated by the person operating the scanner and there was no actual print
The neg was made to look like the way the "taker" wanted the non existent print to look like
@ReginaldSMith@pentaxuser Thanks, really hard to get toned prints to match the scan, well hard for me as I have very little competency and dislike digital editing, while I really enjoy making the wet prints. I generally give anyone who puts a scanned print up a bit of slack as its a lot harder to get it looking good for the LCD screen, especially with large format where you lose that depth and detail. Dont know why anyone would misrepresent what they did, its not a competition, about sharing and showing how you are going.
@awty yes..its also easy to forget that prints alsoblook different in different lighting, just as the files do on different devices. When about to commit on tone for multiple prints in exchanges I always review in open shade as well as in home tungsten light because I can't count on many using "proper" daylight lamps...few galleries do either.
