DABS OF RUST ON A GREEN RAIL CAR, OCTOBER 2012
|
I printed two copies of this image this morning. The print from the first attempt is where I had my first problem ever with my printer. There were a couple of blue splatters in the sky and on the margin. I did a thorough printer cleaning, and the second print came out clean. The sky in the first variation of this image was more violet. I made some changes to go more toward blue.

MY FIRST INTERPRETATION OF THIS PHOTOGRAPH
|
Lisa likes the violet sky more than the blue. I have to sit with them for awhile for me to know.
I usually process and print much like I take the images. That is, I tend to work the image in a routine that I have established up to a certain point. I sometimes then make a copy or two. I then compare the "proofs" in the "print" module. I much prefer looking at a possible print from that view. I can see the image as it will sit on the paper. I cannot explain why I prefer previewing the images in this manner, but it really help me determine what I will print. Thank goodness that I have a calibrated monitor.
