Editing

Yesterday I spent about four hours in the Print Lab editing my negatives and printing off more digital negatives to use.  By editing I simply mean - removing dust, marks, scratches, and adjusting the levels so that I can produce the best digital negative possible for my cyanotypes.  Sometimes I hate that I am so OCD when it comes to this part of the process, but I think it pays off in the end.
Example:

35mm Negative scanned into the computer - before any editing

After editing - all I did was remove all the dust and marks and adjust the levels

This is why I do love Photoshop so much :)
