Thread: How is the cat skinned these days?

    How is the cat skinned these days?

    Just curious. What is your LF work flow at present? It's set to multiple choice, but of course there is some combination I have left out, so feel free to elaborate.

    if today is any indication, I develop the negatives, then I spend half the day trying to find them in my office -- going through every negative I have, with no luck. They are around here somewhere! Nice ones too!

    Maybe I just dreamed I developed them and the negs are still in the film holders...

    Re: How is the cat skinned these days?

    For now, I'm primarily developing my own film, scanning on an Artixscan M1 and printing on an Epson 3800. I mostly exhibit and sell 16x20 prints--or something a bit larger. I also have a darkroom set up, but it still needs some work before I can start printing large (20x24) prints, contact printing 8x10's, and wet plate collodion.

    There wasn't an option, so here's what I do.

    I pick up my camera. Unfold it, set it up, play with it. Fold it back up and store it. Then I log onto LFPF.

    My color workflow doesn't actually appear in your list:

    Color: Lab develops, I scan, lab prints. This is most cost effective for me for C-41 4x5/8x10.

    B&W: I develop, I scan, lab prints.

    I develop all my own film, then print the B&W ones wet. The colour ones get scanned and printed - i have a nearby printer who does excellent work.

    My work flow is similar to Ash's.

    The same as Mick Noordewier (sounds Dutch), for both 4x5 and 8x10 inch.

    I develop B&W and color and optically print B&W and Ilfochromes. I'm also beginning to scan and inkjet print color only.
