Although accurate color is achievable with Gum prints, there are two primary factors that determine the final outcome: the workflow for making the negatives and the workflow for making the prints. The two images pictured below show the original digital file from the camera (top) and the Gum print made from the same file (bottom). I have found that how the photograph looks once you apply “Multichannel” to the image is how it will appear in the final print. Therefore, I have developed a workflow (details to follow in my next post) that adjusts the image prior to “Multichannel” and before creating the negative.
