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!
