Sabatier effect is not that easy to recreate..
Here are some more samples of my efforts in reviving the sabatier effect.
Discovered that blending modes and layers can add a profound effect to it.
However I like to stay a bit more true to the real process as it happened in the old analogue darkroom, but I am tempted… So these images are still based on the effect of tone reversal after re exposing the film during development.
Not the best example, only found a low res image and it shows in the definition of the lines around the tripod and model.
Colour transparencies with a few different tonal values are more fun to play with. It is not easy where you keep the original tones preserved. On purpose I do not show the original image, these “effects” could amuse or intrigue you…
Found Agfa Contour negatives, but the effect is in this digital age kind of old hat – not that captivating, I think I’ll try first to get Sabatier under my control.
Any feedback is appreciated.
