Talk:Push processing

Stub

I flagged this article as a photographic stub because I think it needs more detail, and perhaps a few examples including photos.Calrion

Like most articles here on photography, this one is pretty weak technically, and reads unevenly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1p2o3i (talk • contribs) 08:10, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

There have been significant improvements since July 2009 so I have upgraded this to start class. ~Kvng (talk) 15:19, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

1. Push and pull processing can be done with print paper too, to good effect.
2. The artistic effect of maximum pushing is strong and looks good, it creates heavily washed out very grainy pictures, with strong contrasty edges but much of the surface fill data gone, and what remains is exaggerated.

B&W paper is usually developed to completion - that is, until all the exposed silver is fully developed, with the controls being exposure time and lens aperture. You're probably thinking of lith developing, which works by infectious development. "Looks good" is a POV statement; I might think it "looks nasty". Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:54, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Examples

Is this an example? (Compare to this.) - dcljr (talk) 04:53, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

No, the images were taken on a digital camera (Nikon D3), not film. --El Grafo (talk) 12:03, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
