Product Description

Review
"The Darkroom Cookbook is destined to become a classic. For anyone working in black-and-white it is a must have."--Shutterbug, September 1996

Product Description
Written in easy-to-understand language, The Darkroom Cookbook is the one source every photographer needs for the recipes for both common and rare photographic formulas. This book shares tried-and-true techniques for the silver-based process and provides the keys to unlocking creativity through the mastery of the 'ingredients' of photography -- namely the chemicals used to develop, fix, stop and tone.


The Darkroom Cookbook, 2nd Edition offers 170 photographic formulas, 20 of which are new to this edition, that cover film developing, paper developing, toners, stop baths, fixers, negative reductions, print reductions, negative intensifiers, paper intensifiers, and more. New information has been added on pyro developer, amidol developer, monobaths, pushing film, and low contrast development. Sections on safety and darkroom planning, as well as a listing of chemical suppliers, complete this book. The comb binding allows for easy darkroom use.

*Recipes for 170 photographic formulas and their specific uses, including 20 new ones
*In-depth analysis of which formulas work best under what conditions, as well as specialized conditions, such as working in extremely cold or tropical climates
*Handy, easy-to-access information on safety, suppliers, darkroom planning, and conversion tables

5.0 out of 5 stars The Darkroom Bible!, 10 Jul 2001
By katya89@yahoo.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
This book was our textbook when I was in art school in America when I took Photochemistry. There are tons of ideas and recipes to try as well as good information on how to do it. This as well as the other companion book, The Film Developing Cookbook (same authors) are the definitive guides in experimental developing. It'll teach you to have better control over your negatives and your prints. Hidden in this book are the recipes that all the great masters themselves have used to create their masterpieces. For example, there's Edward Weston's ABC Pyro formula. A must for true enthusiasts, if nothing else, as a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep this handy, 3 Jan 2009
This review is from: The Darkroom Cookbook (Paperback)
The best place to turn when the company you bought chemistry from goes belly-up. It also offers interesting alternatives to normal darkroom practice. I'm slowly adopting more and more of their brews over commercial products. This book, and the film developing companion title are insurance for the die-hard photographer.
