The Daguerreotype: Contemporary work by Jonathan Danforth

Earlier this year I posted a little tutorial about how I make contact prints on daguerreotypes.  I buy a few packs of the Premium OHP Transparency Film (TPU-100) a year so I have been signed up on their mailing list for some time.  An update hit my mailbox today that has links to ICC Profiles for the various media sold and a nice testimonial by artist Christopher James.

I haven’t made any elaborate curve adjustments for the printing media for making daguerreotypes.  The most I have done is to desaturate a bit and reduce contrast.  Usually I’ll lighten the red channel to counteract the orthochromatic nature of the daguerreotype but this is purely done by eye.
