In this class you will learn Joseph Glasgow's personal technique of coating fiber based digital prints with polyurethane and acrylic polymers; the end results are not unlike bleaching and toning in the traditional darkroom. This has the effect of creating deeper, richer blacks and brighter whites with greater overall saturation of color. Additionally, it will protect your valuable images against moisture and abrasion.
Here's what Seattle photographer Doug Plummer had to say on his blog when he first encountered Joseph's technique at Photolucida in 2005:
"Earlier today I saw work by Joseph Glasgow that stunned and rattled me, because it represented a watershed that I thought was still a few years out. I was pondering the ratio of silver to inkjet prints in the room, and had this set tagged for certain as well printed silver. I was wrong. I still don't believe it. I took off my glasses and closely examined the mid-level shadows, where digital often falls apart. It looked like silver...These prints completely fooled me. These were not quad-tone inkjets. They were from the standard inkset on an Epson 2200. The secret (included) a coating, which I think is what fooled my eye, the paper appeared as a glossy fiber print dried on a screen."
"We're there. My darkroom could be replaced now."
