So what would we call a process wherein you print digitally but then
manually add paint/tones/washes/pencil to the print? is that ADA?? or
something else?


Good question. I'm a painter-printmaker who has moved into photography as
an end result now, instead of just reference for my other work. Traditionally,
artworks created with several different mediums as you suggest, have been
called "mixed media", as in an etching with some hand coloring, or a pastel
that begins with a watercolor wash to establish undertones.


The work I'm doing now is ADveryA ( film neg >> scan and adjust then output
inkjet positive to expose photopolymer plate to UV >> then use plate to make
traditional etching with intaglio press (very analog ) )


I started out many years ago AAA, and still enjoy the darkroom a lot. Digital
capture is getting very tempting though... :rolleyes:

AAA 10% (color -> subcontractor with a professional lab, up to 60x90 cm)
ADD 90% (color -> scanning inhouse, printing up to 40x60 inhouse, larger formats the professional lab)

Is there any other way to capture than analog? :D

I'm looking at a bit of an odd workflow; since it'll be a while before I have room for an enlarger, (rent house with a badly laid-out bathroom and no other rooms even close to light-tight enough to try) I'm stuck with ADD (analog up until scanning the negs) but I want to get to the point of doing AAA, AAD, and once I can afford a digital camera better than my current point & hope-for-the-best Samsung S730, all of the above.

ADA All the Way!!

ADA, with the final A usually a carbon transfer print.

Some ADD, with the final D a color print with pigment inks.
