Alright,
Another post in an effort to digitize all of the work I did in the Langara Professional Photo-Imaging Program. You can see all the previous posts here. In the second semester of the program Photo 1215 focused on technical photographic concepts and the necessary measurements to ensure a consistent output. The assignments in this course were:
- Flare Curve and DlogH Curves
- pH and Specific Gravity Measurements
- Quality Control Testing
- Hi-Res and Multimeter Usage
- Digital Camera Dynamic Range Testing
- Digital Greyscale and Output
- ICC Profiling
Through this course I learned how to:
- use a transmission densitometer to read densities from control strips and negatives
- use a reflection densitometer to read densities from control strip prints
- plot given densities values on a quality control graph and make diagnostic evaluations from these control plots
- describe the procedures that are customarily followed in handling of factory prepared control strips from the time of receipt to filing after they have been read on a densitometer
- list the steps in correct sequences and the the function of each step for black and white negative processes
- evenly illuminate (without any glare) a greyscale, exposing it correctly, develop the images without any marks, scratches, streaks etc. Read the resulting densities on a transmission densitometer and plot the reading on an appropriate graph
- list the five most common components and function of a black and white developer solution
- take pH measurements of at least three different photographic solutions using narrow pH papers and a pH meter
- make specific gravity measurements using a hydrometer of at least two different processing solutions
- be able to use a multi meter and apply the theory of basic electricity to photo-imaging
- be able to design digital grayscale for use in testing digital output systems
- assess output from digital devices and correct as required using ICC profiling devices
- understand basic color management concepts
- work in a color managed workflow
- optimize output from a digital camera
Until the next binder…
