Hi
A few years ago I tried tri-colour gum printing, without much success! I'm now going to go back to basics, and thought I'd initially try scanning the negs into Photoshop etc before learning the intricacies of gum printing!
I have a Lee tri-colour filter set. I first of all need to work out the filter factor for each of the three colours. I'll then meter for the scene, then photograph the scene with each filter in turn, adding the appropriate filter factor for each colour.
If if this is correct so far, my main question concerns developing the negs. Can I process the three negs at the same time (ie with the same development time), or do each of them require different contrast?
I'll try this first, then I'll probably post a question about layering and colour subtracting (or whatever the term is) in Photoshop later!
Thanks
David
