I am a giclee maker whose day to day experience is lighting fine art, usually work on canvas, which leads to my question. Some artists as part of their technique use brush stokes that deposit paint in the minute valleys between the warp and woof of the canvas threads, but remarkably small amounts of the paint on the raised threads where one thread crosses over another. Examined closely, these lightly painted "points" appear as dots of near canvas white. Artists who are quite pleased with this effect in the original pieces, fine my representation of this phenomenom in my giclee undesirable.
At this writing, I have worked out a time consuming, but somewhat satisfactory remedy, but no good business basis to deal with the artists who exhibit this contradictory acceptance. It is as if I am to be responsible for correcting, at my expense, a near perfect rendering of their original work.
Perhaps, Lens Babies instead of Leica Macro lenses (tension releaving humor). Would any readers have experiences along these lines, or have resources toward which they might be willing to direct me...please? I am awaiting the market introduction of a Sinar marketed camera, with which I hope to offer my customers even finer work, perhaps I am just a glutton for punishment.
Thanks,
Jerry Reed
