YMCK
The acronym photo
developers use for Yellow
(Y), Magenta (M), Cyan (C) and Density (K). I am no expert on this matter
so I would really appreciate any input from anyone as to how I
can better this experiment. This is an attempt to get better
photo prints from any regular photo developer. Prior to this, I
had to deal with overly dark prints (which show little or no
stars) or overly bright prints (which look as if the sky
underwent a really bad bleaching experience). My thanks to Kelvin
& Patrick of OIS Konica for trusting me to twiddle with the
photolab equipment.
