APA NY What Would Ansel do? The Art of Digital Printing with Douglas Dubler

Douglas Dubler learned printing at the knee of the original guru, Ansel Adams. And to his young charge, Ansel would often say, “The art of photography is the print.”

The very appealing and fast changing technology of digital print making has made it imperative to keep up to the minute with developments in this captivating art form.

In this presentation, Douglas will cover the gamut of necessary components for achieving superior results in digital printing; from capture/scanning, camera setup, monitor calibration, preparation of the file, color management, custom profiling, printing with a RIP, paper selection to mounting and framing. Both B&W and color printing will be covered.

Douglas Dubler was one of Epson's Stylus Pros and is also one of the X-Rite Elite Master "Coloratti". In a career that has spanned more than 4 decades he has constantly pursued the elusive fine art print. From his early exposure to Adams' Zone System to dye transfer and platinum printing, Douglas has combined aesthetics and technology together with a very critical eye to produce exquisitely detailed digital prints.

This free IN-PERSON event will be held at Soho Photo Gallery. Seating is limited. Please register.
