Editorial Reviews
Review
Advance Praise for Post Exposure:
"The short review is this: buy the book. It is not just another how-to-book, but is filled with theoretical backgrounds to a wide range of photographic questions; it will be an invaluable reference work on your shelves. The section on development inhibiting couplers, for example, is brilliant."
- Shutterbug

"Step-by-step, detail by intricate detail, Ctein takes us from the very beginning of the photographic process, to the most advanced and sophisticated techniques as no other author ever has. From subjects as essential as determining if an enlarging lens is properly centered, to procedures taking the image from exposure to the making of the fine print, Ctein leaves no detail unexplored and wipes away long perpetuated ideas that have no basis in fact. This book will be the key reference text in just about every darkroom dedicated to quality work. It is truly a masterpiece of technical analysis and instruction that answers every elusive question photographers have long wondered about."
-Arthur Kramer, author of "Kramer's Korner" for Camera 35, "View from Kramer" in Modern Photography, and "Pro View" in Popular Photography.

"Post Exposure provides unique background information for printers, including all of Ctein's significant researches into a variety of issues of importance to serious darkroom workers. More intelligent and scientifically literate by far than the standard fare, it is the best such synopsis to be found in any current book directed at a lay audience. Post Exposure is the essence of Ctein's distinguished career as one of the nation's leading magazine writers on photographic technique."
-Mike Johnson, editor, PHOTO Techniques

"Comprising more than a dozen chapters, the book explores not only how we see, but also how film and print material sees. This is a book favored by many photography experts, even prompting PT Contributing Editor Howard Bond to call it "one of the best six books ever written on photography." - Photo Techniques, April 2001

"Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Post Exposure continues to be an indespensable photographic printmaker introduction and reference to the underlying principles and practices needed to produce professional quality photography prints. Post Exposure is a "must" for any photographer aspiring to produce professional quality photographic prints. - Bookwatch, March 2001
