DESCRIPTION:
Formerly Head of Technical Services for the Ilford Group
Technical -- Advanced Covers virtually anything do do with black and white processing. Provides all the 'How To" so lacking in other books. Does not omit non-Ilford developers, but includes charts for them as well. But the book is certainly for the serious ameteur or pro, and is very technical. I really need the data provided on a daily basis, so the techical aspects don't bother me -- they're a plus! But others may find the book too much and wish simpler explanations. I'm biased here.. "Great overview of black and white enlargning and developing" according to geimtappi@hotmail.com. This book is a manual of b/w photography in the whole. The book is filled with useful information on how to develop your films and create good enlargements and also has a good storing and caring instructions for your precious films and photographs. Useful procedures like knifing and toning is also covered. The book contains information on various tools, like "the difference between diffuser and condenser enlargers" and many more. Great book for every b/w enthusiast.
. From the Publisher This is an all-encompassing book on every aspect of black and white photographic processing and printing. Richard Platt, Keith Watson and Mike Gristwood of Ilford took up the challenge to finalize the updating and produce this third edition as a tribute to the enormous contribution Jack has made to the development of photographic processes. The original author, Jack Coote, sadly died during the revision of this book. The principles and methods described are varied for both Ilford's and other manufacturers' materials and apparatus
The photographs, drawn from those submitted to Ilford's annual b&w print competition, have been completely replaced. This book covers every aspect of black-and-white photographic processing and printing. Since publication of the last edition there have been many advances in papers, films and processes. This revised edition brings the book up-to-date by reflecting these advances. This book should be of interest to: students of photography on degree, GCSE, A Level and C&G courses; professional photographers/printers; and photography enthusiasts.
