Testing digital negative editing techniques for Cyanotype - Curves Vs Levels

Hi, I'm Rhian, a Cyanotype artist trying out hacks and weird ideas. If you are looking for technical info, my videos are not for you I’m afraid!

For my first video I wanted to try out how I would edit a negative compared to Mike Ware's method of editing the curves of a digital negative, which I saw mentioned by Prussian Blues @matthewbary1 in a video which I can't remember the title of right now, sorry.

I'm not lying when I say I spent days trying to figure out how to get good photographic digital negatives for a recent uni assignment before finding out about Mike Ware's levels method and thus my first video with terrible voice over is born!

Mike Ware's amazing book, Cyanomicon can be downloaded here: https://www.mikeware.co.uk/downloads/...
