Over the past year I've been reworking a local photographer's images
for print projects overseas, some of the content I drum scanned way
back in 1990 and many have been scanned by who knows who, my job was/
is to create some synergy within the legacy content that was drum
scanned and the digital content my client now produces.
I have to admit I'm a bit stumped at the raw conversion workflow, many
years ago, back before hi-end digital, we always had an original to
compare to, now I find myself rebuilding the image in PS with layers
of complexity that I never experienced before. The outcome seems so
uncertain because I have no visual reference. How is this overcome,
what could I be doing different to improve the initial conversion of
these images to at the very least get me half way to meet a
professional photographers expectations. I'm not dead in the water
here, we've pulled off some nice stuff but I'm quite puzzled by the
efforts required to perfect these images.
There's got to be a better way, I know in my heart I'm doing something
wrong!
