Darkroom to Digital: Photoshop for Black & White Photography
Ten years after Creative Elements, his acclaimed book on traditional black and white photography, Eddie Ephraums now addresses the issues of switching to a Photoshop 'darkroom' and explores its creative potential for printing pictures digitally. He begins by examining the values of traditional black and white and asking how digital can build upon them.
Next he takes us through a digital portfolio of his monochrome and toned photographs, discussing the equipment and methods he used, and showing how, step by step, these images, many still originating from film negatives, were made. He explains how he emulated and improved upon traditional darkroom exposure techniques, and concludes that, creatively, the black and white photographer has never had it so good. This enlightening and inspiring guide will enable photographers to take their skills forward both technically and creatively.
