Hi Folks
I am in the starting stages of a very large project.
Final output is Lambda Fibre Base prints, tri toned.
Originals are colour negatives dating back to the early 60's70's 80's
I have ran a series of test scans and conversions to BW and printed and toned.
I am not happy 100% with my final prints.
I think that the restoration is beyond my skill sets, as we are dealing with serious cross curve issues and tonal conversion/contrast problems due to the fading of the original negatives.
Does any one know here know of a very extremely competent PS operator that is skilled in this kind of work major damage restoration. The project can/possibly lead to 75- 100 drumscans and whatever it takes to bring these originals to a BW fiber state that I can then print on the Lambda and put our stamp on it. I would appreciate a lead to such a person.
This is a photographers worst nightmare and if those of you sitting on an archive of colour negs, bring them out and look at them.
