Description
Digital Negatives: Using Photoshop to Create Digital Negatives for Silver and Alternative
Process Printing bridges the world of traditional photographic printing with digital technology. A digital negative, prepared in Photoshop, allows you to skip the dark room time developing the negatives—getting straight to a variety of printing processes including silver, platinum, and a host of other “alternative” processes. You will see this as an opportunity to mix technology with traditional photo processes resulting in more time for your art! In the recent past, photographers that wanted digital negatives had to take their business to labs. Now all of you Photoshop users can incorporate this practice into your workflow of choice.

描述
數位底片:使用Photoshop創建銀和其他替代印刷的數位底片將傳統攝影印刷與數位技術結合。在Photoshop中準備的數位底片使您可以跳過暗房時間的底片沖洗,直接進行包括銀、鉑和其他“替代”印刷過程在內的各種印刷過程。您將把這視為將技術與傳統照片工藝相結合的機會,從而為您的藝術提供更多時間!過去,想要數位底片的攝影師必須將業務交給實驗室。現在,所有使用Photoshop的用戶都可以將這一實踐納入自己選擇的工作流程中。
