This introduction into platinum/palladium printing will show students how to turn a digital file into a one-of-a-kind print using a method you can do at home.
In HCP’s Digital Darkroom, participants will create digital negatives from one of their own files. The instructor will demonstrate the Photoshop process for creating a perfect digital negative for palladium printing. The class will then begin the second part of the workshop, learning the print with the digital negative. Students will learn how to mix the chemicals, coat the paper, and properly wash the print after exposure. Print will be exposed outdoors in sunlight, and each participant will leave with a palladium print of their own image.
