Travel Info about Palenville NY
Whether you’re new to Platinum Printing or experienced in this magical medium, you’ll leave this workshop with a selection of inspiring, handmade prints. With a limited class size, you will receive lots of individual attention as you master one of Photography’s most sensuous printing methods.
  • Learn the latest (and easiest) ways to make enlarged negatives with your desktop printer. (After all, Dan literally wrote the book Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing over 25 years ago.)
  • Take your platinum printing to a new, beautiful place as you work with both rich, watercolor papers and delicate, translucent vellums. Learn how handmade prints make your photography stand out in a sea of lookalike inkjet prints.
  • See how your prints gain depth and intrigue with a mixture of hand-applied precious metals. You might not settle for a straight platinum print ever again.
  • Learn non-nerdy Photoshop techniques that will give your final prints that special depth and glow.
  • Learn how to add an intriguing touch of color to your platinum/palladium prints with hand-applied pigments.
  • Learn which process works with each image. No single process is right for every image.
As in all of Dan’s Platinum/Palladium classes, you’ll work with your own images. Dan will help guide you through the image editing steps to give your prints the depth and mystique you want in your platinum/palladium portfolio.
Between printing sessions you’ll dive into the meat and potatoes of digital photography, learning powerful digital techniques that let you control the composition, color and tonality of your final images.
A field trip on Saturday (weather permitting)  will reveal the special beauty of the Catskills and Hudson River Valley to both your eyes and your camera. It’s thrilling to shoot in the morning and print those images in platinum in the afternoon! Any digital camera or smart phone is welcome during the field trip.

If you want to master the next generation of platinum printing from the artist and technician who invented the Digital Negative in 1992, this is your golden opportunity!

Prerequisites for the Class
Participants should bring a laptop with Photoshop CS6 or later installed. A basic familiarity with Photoshop (layers and curves) helps a lot. A complete “Preparing for the Workshop” letter (explaining type of images to bring, etc.) will be sent to students several weeks before the class.
