About this title

Reviews

Both of these useful books concentrate on the art and science of printing photographs. Busselle emphasizes the basics of the process, such as the relationship of speed and grain in film, toners for prints, and filters and screens. He then discusses infrared film and lith developer before moving on to specific alternative processes, notably cyanotype, argyrotype, and gum bichromate. Accompanied by clear, well-executed illustrations, Busselle's book provides a detailed and well-organized introduction for photographers who would like to learn more about alternative processes and enhance their printing skills.
