Contrast Masking Kit
contains:
Two Registration pins (1/4" round to fit
standard paper hole punches).* Please note that the original negative
is NEVER punched or marred in any way when using this system.
These pins can be used to easily make your own pin-registration carrier
system with the instructions included in the manual. The Precision
Pin-Registration Carrier Systems are also available for photographers
who want extreme accuracy and efficiency in mask-making and printing.
One sheet of 8.5" x 11" Kodak Duratrans
(or similar) diffusion material - the ideal textureless diffusion material
for use in making masks, printing, and "on the scene" pre-exposure
in the camera. This rather expensive material is not easily available
in small quantities elsewhere, and is far superior to white plexiglass
in that it can be sandwiched in between masks and or negatives while
maintaining pin-registration (essential for some of the masks).
A manual including complete instructions on various
techniques, including mask making and use, including: The original articles
on SCIM (shadow contrast increase mask), CRM (contrast reduction mask),
and HLM (highlight mask) by Dennis McNutt and Mark Jilg, with complete
instructions on making a pin-registration negative carrier for your
enlarger. Also includes detailed information and instructions for making
Unsharp Masks. Dodge Masks, Fog Masks and Special Contrast Increase
Masks by Lynn Radeka are also discussed in detail, with instructions,
diagrams and illustrations for making and using each type of mask. Comparison
illustrations give the reader a good example of how each mask affects
the values of the print.
The new expanded Contrast Masking Kit now
includes chapters on Inkjet Dodge Masking
(use your computer to produce ultimate dodge masks), Combination Toning,
Small and Large Format Masking, Paper Plane Masking (ideal for small
format negatives) and more charts and updated diagrams.
Complete examples and step by step procedures
including diagrams, curves and reproductions of various masks and effects.
Inkjet reproductions of photographs on a separate
"insert" page showing the various stages of manipulations.
Instructions and formulas on procedures that
Lynn Radeka employs the most, including his highlight "brightener"
bleach formula, Ansco 120 print developer, and SLIMT contraction development
of the negative for high quality results.
Darkroom printing records for documenting printing
manipulations, including dodging and burning with masks, etc. These
record sheets may be Xeroxed or copied by the user.
Discount voucher worth $50 off the purchase price
of any Radeka original print off of this internet site.
A CD with screensaver, slideshow and desktop
images in color and Black and White. Also includes the demo version
of the CompuPic Image Browser for PC and Mac, the trial version of
ACDSee, and a new section of informative masking examples including
several pages of interactive images. A new Inkjet Dodge Mask folder
on the CD includes Photoshop actions to automatically generate an
inkjet dodge mask for applying to shadow areas or highlight areas
and a color file to make your own inkjet dodge mask for local contrast
control when using variable contrast printing papers.
*
Note: These pins are not included if the Contrast Masking Kit is purchased
as part of the "Complete" Precision pin-registration carrier
system. The carrier system already includes pins attached to the glass
carrier.
