John Mitchell Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 In their most recent picture needs blog post, Alamy mentions cyanotypes of plants. I remember my father, who was an architect, making blueprints using this printing technique. Cyanotype-like images must be fairly easy to create digitally. Has anyone experimented with this? Here is an example. It looks a bit fuzzy to me. This doesn't bother me, but I don't think that I would have been brave enough to submit it.

wiskerke Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It's a preset in Photoshop under image adjustments. Tons of results on Google. if you do an image search you see some believable results. Broad brush strokes form the most *real* frame though. This one is not digital: world record cyanotype, done a couple of days ago. wim edit: more accurate link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I should pay more attention- that's only a few miles down the road from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broad brush strokes form the most *real* frame though. LR and PS presets are a very time efficient way of creating cyanotypes, instagram, variations etc for images that you think would be more commercial for such treatments. Make your standard user preset to get you close then tweak the individual image. This is a tweaked from a preset I have created in LR http://goo.gl/XMk8PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
