[@jungleperry]

I like the first print. It's artistic

Thank you for watching!

Bill - very nice video.

[@six4two1]

Once again Bill you got my creative juices flowing. I have a Pt/Pd project going right now. I think I'll follow it with this overcoating technique on some of the prints. Thank you for your videos.

As a photographer I always carry a camera(s), sometimes it happens to be my Max Pro 12 - makes fantastic photos and videos .

[@dr.michaelfrisch9581]

Terrific video! This was very well presented and will undoubtedly be my next project when time permits.

[@BillSchwab]

Thank you! Really appreciate the comments as well. Hope you have fun with the process!

[@shannonpalmer]

Beautiful photograph! I think I’ll give this process a try this weekend :)

[@BillSchwab]

Thank you, Shannon! Have fun!

[@innersport]

Love the video, Bill! Thanks. Quick question- are you putting the pt/pd through all the clearing baths and allowing to dry overnight before applying cyanotype chems?

[@BillSchwab]

Thank you! Thank you for watching. Yes, I’m completely going through all of the clearing baths and final wash and dry before moving in to the cyanotype.

[@PBosco]

Better question is WHY, (initially), would you want to print cyanotype over a platinum print? A first impression is that this would be like pouring Kool-Aid into Dom Perignon. ** The IMAGE leads the process. ** That said, you did pull the blueish tone back and it does work for THIS image. Best of all, you understood what you were doing and WHY you were doing it. Well done.

[@tomnirider5661]

Bill, I did not see you apply a correction curve to the image. Did I miss something?

[@BillSchwab]

Hi Tom. My correction curve was added in the quad tone rip when I printed it out. Rather than applying the correction curve within Photoshop, it is applied in the Quad Tone RIP during printing. Around the 17:50 mark, I refer to the series I did on Digital Negatives where this is explained in more detail. Hope this helps! kzbin.info/aero/PL_3HStA6i1_o7El9SS1eXO7a5XiZvLBCR

@@BillSchwab Thanks Bill!

[@CigarManGarth]

I love the creativity, but in the end after Lightroom, you end up with a synthetic version of the original picture,,,,,,,,, aaaaaarg, I guess I'm too much of a purist in one way or another. Excellent video! Well presented! Thank you Sir.

[@BillSchwab]

I get it as I too was that purist. In the end, they're all "synthetic" though, aren't they? Once I allowed myself that, they just became prints same as any. Now I just have fun making them no matter how they originated. I appreciate your comments and watching! I hope you'll stay tuned! Thank you!
