To make successful Platinum/Palladium prints\, you need a negative that matches the size and tonal range of your final image. Unless you are working with a large-format camera\, this means learning how to create precise\, calibrated digital negatives\, often the most challenging step in the process. In this live virtual workshop\, Jill will guide you through the complete workflow for creating digital negatives for Platinum/Palladium printing. We will move from importing images from your camera or phone into Photoshop to preparing\, adjusting\, and outputting a finished negative ready for contact printing. Rather than a simple demonstration\, this session is designed to help you understand why each adjustment matters\, so you can confidently create negatives on your own. There will be ample time for questions and troubleshooting\, allowing participants to address individual images\, printers\, and materials. This workshop is ideal for photographers planning to attend the in-person Platinum/Palladium class\, or for anyone who wants to establish a reliable digital-negative workflow for alternative photographic processes. By the end of the session\, participants will have the knowledge needed to produce usable digital negatives and continue refining their process independently. Required materials -- One or more images you would like to work with -- Adobe Photoshop (layer-based workflow will be discussed) -- An inkjet printer -- Transparency film (Pictorico\, Inkpress\, fixxons or equivalent)An affordable option can be found at ultrafineonline.com: Ultrafine Specialty Inkjet Media → Ultrascreen Clear Inkjet Waterproof Transparency FilmItem #372-85114 (8.5 x 11\, 100 sheets) -- Optional: materials for paper negatives using laser printers and copy paper\, with wax or gel medium (discussion/demo) © Jill Enfield© Jill Enfield© Jill Enfield© Jill Enfield© Jill Enfield© Jill Enfield© Jill Enfield Workshop Details Dates: One session will be held on Saturday: April 25\, 2026 Time: 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST Format: Online\, over Zoom Participants: Limited to 10 Course Fee: $285 (members) / $335 (non-members) Level: Open to All!

About the Instructor Jill Enfield Photographed by © Joe McNally Jill Enfield is a fine art photographer\, educator\, and author whose practice centers on historical techniques and alternative photographic processes. She leads annual workshops and lectures internationally. Her three books on these subjects\, published beginning in 2002\, are widely used in academic settings and have received multiple awards. Her immigration-focused series premiered at Ellis Island in 2017 and has since toured nationally. The project includes portraiture as well as The Glasshouse of Immigrants\, a body of work combining portraits with images made on Ellis Island. Her most recent series\, The Way Home\, focuses on landscapes along the Hudson River. The New American series was originally photographed using the wet plate collodion process to create ambrotypes. The Hudson River series began as iPhone photographs\, which were then transformed into wet plate ambrotypes and ultimately produced as palladium prints.
