Camera Angles
What Makes q Salon Print

on the needle sharpness and de-
tail of your scene, don't be afraid
to make your print on glossy
paper. But if you are submitting
a portrait of an elderly woman
you may produce more pleasing
effect if you select a tapestry fin
ish or some other matte or semi
matte paper. Certain negative
defects may be covered up by the
grain of the paper. so you will be
well advised to give this point
much consideration.
Processing Is Important.
Processing the print is an i'm
portant step that may make or
break your picture-this and the
actual printing. If you have
studied your negative we'll you will
see that the picture may be i'm
proved In the printing by skillful
dodging or printing in or holding
back certain areas. Print it
straight and you will not be CIV
ing your best. Use new solutions
when developing and fixing and
there will be less chance that a
spot or stain will spoil your work.
After a careful inspection reveals
that You have perfect print, be
sure to wash it thoroughly for at
least half an hour. Unless you
have a mechanical washer, Is
minutes o. an hour will be even
better.
When your print is dry and per-
fectly fiat give it another once
over before mounting. If you
look as closely as will the judges
you will notice that the corners
and edges are a bit rough and
should be trimmed on paper
trimmer-not with nail scissors.
Now the mount should be Sc
lected with the same care as the
paper. Fancy mounts do more
harm than good and definitely
do not impress salon judges IA
vorably.- So stick to a plain salon
mount that will complement the
print. White, off-white, buff and
gray as we'll as other tones are
to be found at your photo deal
er's. Take special pains to see
that the print is well placed On
the mount with the large margin
at the bottom, and equal mar
gins on the sides. The top mar
gin should be narrower than the
bottom but wider than the sides.
Dry mounting with dry-mount
tissue will be a cleaner method
than any other. Glue, paste, ETC..
will stain or seep out from under
the edges of the print. Slip-un-
der mounts are next best but
have a tendency to come apart
with much handling.
Spot the Paint Carefully.
When the print is secured to
the mount spot it carefully with
spotting brush or pencil and elm
mate all the specks and spots
that detract from your picture.
Then, when all is done, go over
| the mount with an art gum
eraser, leaving your mount spot
leSsly clean.
Many of the pointers we have
given may seem insignificant but
in actual practice each print that
comes before the salon jury will
be critically inspected and judged
on these points. Watch the lit
tie things this year and you
may take home a ribbon instead
of a disappointment.
