Love this video! So informative!!

Man Ray was the first subject I was into back in 1960 when I was ten. The military library in the Presidio of San Francisco had a children's library. I was there once a week for years. Later I ran a photo lab in Saigon for 10 months, and after a break in other work, I was back in custom labs for about 16 years. Now, film work. I think I'll see how to try solarization in Photoshop.

just play with curves adjustment

I’ve heard someone mention Man Ray’s solarization was on the negative not the photo pager. Do you know anything about this?

[@Adrian-wd4rn]

I wonder this too, because no matter HOW HARD I try, my prints end up looking like a chromium plated future soldier from the terminator.

[@robertszatmari9971]

You are correct

[@derekadamsphoto]

Yes, Man Ray used to solarize the negative not the print, also the technique he used was more complicated and had several more stages than just exposing the image to light.

[@inkaststudio]

@@derekadamsphoto Has anyone replicated his technique?

[@rolfehorn]

@@inkaststudio yes

[@ucheucheuche]

I'm desperately in search of a way to replicate the polarization technique, in particular the 'black outlines' characterizing several of Man Ray's prints. Any help?

[@MrMdbellis]

Is this technique the same as the Sabattier Effect?
