Kodak Retouching Colors
I came across these Kodak retouching colors at a thrift store, my immediate thought was how can I use these in a way that the maker never intended. What I came up with was to print a negative image in gray-scale onto transparency film with an inkjet printer and then to apply the retouching colors in the negative. I then scanned the image as if it was a large negative with my Epson V700 scanner. And this is my first result which I have to admit the outcome of which I could not have predicted exactly. I am very pleased and look forward to seeing where I go from here.
I chose a dark image with a limited palette to start. The benefit of this is of course that as a negative the dark areas are pretty much clear. I could have gone with a positive image but that doesn’t seem as difficult or as much fun.
