darkroom and processing

This book is loaded with practical examples of what can be accomplished in the Black-and-White darkroom. It, however, lacks detailed information on some of the techniques used to achieve those results.

Most of the examples are graphical in nature giving the technical details (i.e., exposure time, paper and films used) showing before (straight print) and after manipulation. There is a short section on dodging and burning that give a very quick, not very useful, description of using these techniques.

Overall, this book is relatively lacking in instruction but is saved by the beautiful photos and examples given.
