Beyond Monochrome: A Fine Art Printing Workshop
Worobiec and Spence approach the subject of printing photographs  as fine art. Similar in format to Randall Webb and Martin Reed's  Alternative Photographic Processes (LJ 4/1/01), their book  provides detailed information, including formulas for various  solutions. After a helpful discussion of negatives, chemicals,  and the fine printing of black-and-white photographs, this aptly  titled book takes readers well beyond monochrome prints. The  authors discuss the most popular alternative processes,  including salt printing and platinum printing, along with hand  tinting and airbrushing. Lavishly illustrated with breathtaking  prints, Beyond Monochrome clearly demonstrates what master  printers can accomplish in the darkroom with a skilled hand and  a sensitive eye. Both books are highly recommended for all  photography collections in academic and larger public libraries.  Beyond Monochrome should be considered an essential purchase for  every library where there is interest in darkroom  processes. Raymond Bial, Parkland Coll.
