Fine Art Digital Scanning and Printing

Instructor: Daniel B. Anderson

Many photographers have stored years of negatives and transparencies made in a variety of formats. Participants in this 2-day workshop will learn how to transfer film data through scanning into digital files of the highest quality and how to enhance these images digitally for professional image output. Through these methods, Anderson has found that he can equal, and in most cases surpass, his ability to interpret negatives and transparencies by printing them digitally compared to what he was able to do in the traditional darkroom.

Anderson will demonstrate how and which digital tools can be employed to help in the successful interpretation of your negatives and transparencies to make wonderful and luminous prints. The workshop will cover both black and white and color digital printing, as the specific Photoshop tools to achieve this level of image control are the same for both. You’ll also learn to use some really valuable tools new in Photoshop CS3.

“As a former large format camera user, one of my biggest frustrations when working with my new medium format camera and digital back was the lack of camera movements and the depth of field compromises that became necessary. However, with the release of Photoshop CS3 I now have the capability of using digital scheimpflug and have the advantage of virtual camera movements that are even more effective than my view camera movements were. This is another huge advantage for digital photography and quite simple to do but as far as I can tell, Adobe doesn’t even mention that this is possible.”
