This is a PS rendition of a lith process. I posted the original b&w in the Bigger is Better forum. Please; your thoughts on this view? Thanks, Gerry  |

I like the grain, but I am not sure how much I like the red. Or the burnt umber. I have been looking for ways to recreate the graininess of some of my favorite Japanese photographers with a digital p&s. This comes pretty close. Of course, you are using a real camera.  |

A cameras are real. It is just that some don't use reel film. I think a blue tone would have made it look better but to get that grain it must be a good paper. That said  Bordello Dreams |

Larry,
Not sure what you are referring to as "real cameras and reel film". This was taken with a Crown Graphic 23 with Arista (FomaPan) film. Dev in Rodinal and scanned with a V500. Did I miss something here?

It was a Joke I was refering to my first early attempt to make my film ... reel look like the then digital... real Sorry My mind and My Mind And My Mind and My mind are Not right today ........... But I meant what I said.... I don't think it looks just right ... Jorn said Ember... though that could be the way his screen and mine sees it......

Ahhh. OK on that. I was just curious as to what the reaction would be to the conversion to simulated lith printing. As to color, anyone's choice I guess. CS2 gives you a fairly broad spectrum. I did a print on heavy weight matte. I think the process is OK, just the hue is somewhat off. To my eyes, probably more of a brown tint would look better.

Gerry, the texture is great and the effect you're going for is going to be really nice. There is a particular tone that will make it look just right for you -- and your eye is the one that matters.
As for me, I'd go with more of a bluish-purple, because it's a seaside pic. Think silent movies, when they'd show night-scenes, everything would suddenly be a dark blue or purple tint.

Pete, Thanks for the input. Is this closer to what you would envision? Gerry  |
