How To Print From Colour Film

[@27raustin]

I'm sure most of us would like to see more awesome dark room craft like this👌

[@NegativeFeedback]

Will try and make a black and white one soon where you can actually see what's going on!

[@bebox7]

Absolutely - would love to see a far more detailed look at colour darkroom printing as there is almost nothing online about it. There's plenty of B&W stuff but we need more in-depth looks at the C-Type printing from start to finish eg from the drum scanner, to the screen, through the printer and how they each work. Great video but would love to see much more.

sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.

One of my absolute favorite is printing photos from film. Color film printing especially to me meant being part of a community. I took color film classes at the international center of photography when I was in high school and every weekend the whole class would print in the color dark room, which is always pitch black, so your sense of hearing is sharpened and you have to be hyper aware of who's around you so you don't bump into each other. Still, walking in the dark screaming on what side of the path you're walking and towards where while people still bumped into you was fun, and waiting 3 to 5 minutes for your print to come out was enough to start conversations about anything with the person waiting next to you. Overall, I really miss darkroom printing.

Crazy large negatives

[@aliscarpu]

Thank you for this video! Been wanting to see the different types of printing side by side for nearly a decade but have not been able to print color dark room before. As a film photographer it’s very useful to see the difference of the three.

[@katferments]

Definitely found this interesting! So far I only printed with the inkjet, but I'm going to do handprints in the dark room soon. So, it was really nice to see different kinds of printing methods directly compared to each other.

[@cmhonsu33]

The problem with film photography is that some photographers are solely defining their work on what medium they are using instead on the ideas/concepts behind their work.

[@filminrussia7095]

can you give any examples?

[@pooly440]

You know, as much as I hate this, I think I have to agree

[@SolidStateWorkshop]

I agree. I’m guilty of it too, though. I enjoy seeing how other people use film to make photos, but knowing that they used film immediately biases my perspective on the image. The real question should be “Does the image evoke some feeling from the viewer, or is it just another boring image?” So, I’ve taken down any film hashtags from my Instagram images to remove bias. Yet, I still follow many people who proudly brand themselves as film photographers! Including George. So am I a hypocrite? I don’t know.

[@unityoc]

While this statement is true, I don't know how it is relevant to this video. If you are trying to suggest the image he chose to print isn't worth it then I think you missed the whole point! By the way you can also apply your statement to digital - people obesess over full frame vs. cropped, DSLR vs. mirrorless.

[@INFINITIVco]

Was hoping this was your Toronto video but this is just as awesome because I was waiting for a printing video! The dodging and burning really reminded me of how Ansel Adams would do it.. I’m very glad you showed that because it’s something people should know, even if they don’t go with that method. Great video

[@absolutmax]

Ctyping your photos is completely different from looking at a screen. The colours you can get on a ctype are crazy and can make a good photo look outstanding. I started scanning my developed film and creating contact sheets in lightroom. I now get these as ctypes that will last a hundred years and can put them next to the sheet of film. Also every couple of months I print my favorites in 40cmx40cm or even larger to get a feel of my work. George maybe you could do a video on organizing your developed film / workflow? I would love to know how the photographers you interview have found little tricks to organize everything.

Great episode guys. You’re fast becoming one of my favorite channels on here.

[@MarkHickford]

I went to a friend's house today and he showed me how to do B&W prints in his darkroom :) Got a couple of really nice prints and he's said I can go back and print more some time! Result!

[@nige1rumsey]

Very interesting, particularly to see how the digital-C type is printed, which is my favoured option. Go Roy, for amazing skills!

[@telegenicz]

Are the blank screens on 3:40 and 4:42 supposed to be the end results or video dividers? They seem to cut the flow of the video

[@mr_mr]

Nice comparison. It might be nice to show more of the details compared side by side if you do more videos like this. For someone who has done all of these methods it's still rare to have the same image printed and compared like this. Great idea, thanks George

[@jamsamiches]

This was very helpful! I've been pondering about c-type printing for a while so the comparisons helped me understand better! :)

[@ljw129]

Judging from the side by side view. To my personal liking the optical printing has the best spacial and airy quality and my favourite!

[@emmanuel_loicpolicardo]

“I gotta pretend that I’m the expert... somehow” what are you talking about?! You ARE actually!! Keep up bro’!!

[@btrdangerdan2010]

Very informative video, thanks George! There’s no space in my parents house to put in an enlarger and make prints, but something I look forward to when I have my own house as an older adult.

[@nowdeveloping9187]

Print well, Gergo.

[@daytoday6905]

An essential I have found is to find a good printer, I think I just got the place where to go in my hometown after asking and asking. So thanks for this video I´m excited to do more prints in the future.

[@bennykadenny]

Very interesting video, thx very much! It would have been nice to cover the differences in cost of the three methods.

[@josephsaunders5369]

For the ink jet look in to hahnemuhle baryta. That paper is seriously amazing and very close to Darkroom paper.

[@pompomtomo1121]

I do color printing at university, but I'm troubled by the lack of reference materials. There's a limit to doing it by myself. I want to study more and make a wonderful print. I'm looking forward to watching videos from now on. From I'm Japanese who is not good at English.

[@efimator]

Great vid! Just got my photos back from the lab and already thinking of printint some.

[@alecjordan1109]

George I feel like your channel is similar to a favorite sitcom, I can go back and rewatch your videos over and over

[@beckclewlow]

Not even watched this yet but I know it's gonna be great ! Just as I take an interest in colour print as well. oh george

[@jamesmoreton3747]

Have you ever thought about hand printing and scanning the print? (Obviously not for a print of that size - but 8x10 works well).

[@connorpicken5143]

Great video George!

[@omnesilere]

Fantastic episode, thank you.

[@newFaction64]

I've actually had the opposite experience with using Bay Photo for printing. I found inkjet printing was wildly sharper than digital c-prints and the colors (esp the blacks) were much deeper. I don't think I'll go back to digital c-prints now.

[@jedteng2650]

I dont know anything about that stuff,can you get a good print just by printing at home using inkjet printer?

[@IntrepidCameraCo]

Excellent video, top work

[@tvsuncanilijek7477]

This will be a loong comment:)First,dude I think you had better pictures to demonstrate this.I saw your videos so its not a malicious comment.Concerning the method of printing,Id love to see one from the dark room since sharpness isnt all.But I can see why you dig the digital one the most.Kind regards brotski

[@alessiaguida1857]

I LOVE this channel

[@katharineshields]

Good intro video! I really hope you take another crack at inkjet printing, you really can have an extremely high level of control with it (sometimes TOO high!). As someone who does this professionally with artists, I feel like I should mention that more often than not, a significant amount of time is spent making the necessary adjustments to get from "finished" file to finished print. I love c printing, but in 5 years your your c prints and digital Cs are going to look significantly different, not so for inkjet!

George, have you ever tried shooting panoramic shots with 35mm film using your Mamiya 7?

And that will offer the same look on all digital media. But is expensive for him.

[@derekhackert4585]

Dooppppeee. I’ve been trying to get into a darkroom for the past two years. Difficult though when so few people do it. Even my university got rid of their entire analogue program. I’m one of the very few still shooting film. Developing in my bathroom. Guess I have to buy an enlarger... ;p

[@dylanbridgwater7673]

nice aime hoodie

[@v-g-z3689]

To me, pure analogue printing is the only real thing. It doesn´t have to be done by hand, printing on an analogue minilab is totally fine. Sadly, those machines from the late 90´s, up to where they were tho only hhing existing as digital was just not around yet, are so damn rare nowerdays. I only know 3 labs in Germany that still work with them, and those don´t do all film formats and types. Keep up the 100% analogue workflow, thanks for the Video.

does anyone know of good places to print color film by hand in nyc?

[@a.m.creativ]

I appreciate the video, but I definitely don't understand the attraction to the image. It looks a lot like a snapshot that just anyone can take. I'm not sure I would waste my hard earned dollars on printing a photo that seems like a throwaway to me.

[@TimPalman]

Are you familiar with the work of Stephen Shore, William Eggleston, Jeff Wall? They're some of the most successful photographers ever, and they make work which references, both visually and conceptually, the "snapshot" aesthetic.

[@Justic3PourTous]

Tim Palman Jeff Wall on the other hand will seize a moment that he finds captivating, he’ll store that memory & then will recreate that same scenery almost as if he was working on a movie set. He has a poetic, artistic & honest approach when it comes to photography. I don’t see any resemblance whatsoever

[@TimPalman]

o k Jeff Wall rides the line between real and surreal by capturing a subject more suited to a snapshot “style” - of the moment, candid - in a way we is highly produced and preconceived. His images, however, draw all their meaning from their relation to the snapshot.

[@iag127]

Tim Palman this is the most pretentious comment yet.

[@CriticalTgaming]

the shot really tells a story if you look closely, well at least to me but everyone has a different perspective.

Printing video, interesting

[@alvareo92]

Printing Video!

[@randallstewart175]

If intended t be a direct comparison of the potential of each process, I think that idea is weakened by two issues; First, by picking some sort of "art" paper for the inkjet print, a failure to match the color and texture of the paper bases invalidates that comparison with C-prints. Second, and this is more my opinion,if the digital files were "drum scanned", that type of film image to digital scanning can cost up to $100 per image, which is not a process economically available to most people. Creating the digital image by a more widely used (and probably lower quality) scan process would seem to give a more useful comparison. All that said, I think the basic idea here is very useful, and with the adjustments I suggest, the comparative outcomes would be similar but more dramatic.

[@iNerdier]

Shame he used such a non-exciting image to print so well...

[@tekoppentekoppen761]

[@jameslane3846]

I just learnt how to do handprints yesterday and my god it was beautiful particularly the MF photo that was printed. I actually prefer Giclée over digital C-type. C-type papers are too glossy and I like the painterly gorgeous textures of Giclée prints. I think I only ever printed one photo on digital C-type and it was a portrait of my gf. It works for portraits perhaps but not for my vision and genre which is landscape photography.
