Talk:Modern Photography/Printing processes

Process re-organization
This should probably be re-orgnized along modern digital lines.

This would perhaps:
 * segregate the physical process of imprinting the image on some media (the list currently making up the article) from the other aspects of the process

Possible steps:
 * colourspace conversion
 * selection of printing technique
 * calculation of output size versus available source resolution
 * generation of a final digital proof
 * selection of paper or other media
 * test prints and refinement
 * potential for further artistic processes (drawing, hand-coloring, physical collage, etc.)
 * drying
 * sealing
 * framing
 * mounting

Basically there's a lot more than just the printing technology in play as far as photographic printing goes, and most of the currently listed and near-extinct techniques have little relevance today. Pratyeka (discuss • contribs) 05:13, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
