This is great! Thank you. Will be sharing with my students.

This is very informative, as it takes you through the process step by step, and w/ photos. I'm not sure what age this is aimed at, but working w/ layers and the like in PS is pretty advanced for a lot of adults, much less kids, and the kids in the photos look awfully young.

glad it was of interest

ability grows/shows faster in some. I was pointed to the link by a teen who’d been using PS about a year.
Digital has been a boost for learning. A decade ago someone I went to grad school with asked me to help a student learn dye printing. I put her through the ‘egg’ hunt. She and two others became the best students I’ve ever known. And I got to learn PS from deep users.

Fun! And nice to see. I've been doing cyanotypes from digi negs with my senior high school students for a few years now. Going to do gum prints this semester. Thankfully, we have an old screen printing exposure table here. We can't rely on the sun this time of the year.
