This is part three of a three part series on printing color RA-4 process in the home darkroom. Here I cover the some more advanced techniques for color printing. We look at making a color print ring-a-round for finding the best interpretation of the print, and methods to change print contrast. Part one covers the necessary tools and materials, and part two looks at basic printing methods.
This image was shot on Kodak Portra 400 and processed in my darkroom using Kodak C-41, and I am printing on Fuji Crystal Archive CA II using Kodak RA-RT chemicals.
