Overview

Anyone who is serious about photography will care about the quality of the prints they produce, whether they are intended for exhibition in a gallery, for sale on a website or simply for hanging on the walls of their home. In this book, photography journalist Mike McNamee and landscape photographer Paul Gallagher, who is Epson's main b&w photographer and printer, provide a complete user-friendly guide to monochrome printing. Taking as their starting point the fact that successful printing begins with the camera - it's much more than an afterthought - they show how to create a practical workflow that will enable you to achieve the best possible prints in a predictable, easily controlled way. Subjects covered include image capture (digital and film), processing digital files, scanning film negatives, converting files to monochrome, image preparation and refinement, printing techniques, choosing a printer, types of inks and papers, profiling and presentation. All the techniques are explained in a clear, accessible way, with plenty of tips and tricks of the trade from the authors, who have drawn extensively on their own experience of printing professionally. There are numerous practical examples of printed images, many of them by Paul Gallagher, accompanied by screenshots showing the controls and adjustments employed in making them.
