By utilizing one form of masking or another, the photographer can have far greater contrast control (from subtle to extreme), either locally or overall, on his prints than standard methods, such as paper grade or developer changes, alone can allow. In most cases the results of effective masking cannot be duplicated - or even approached - by standard printing techniques such as altering developers or utilizing different paper grade/developer combinations. Masking can even be used in conjunction with variable contrast papers to give the photographer limitless options for achieving stunning print quality! Now includes Inkjet Dodge Masking for traditional prints (the ultimate in dodge/burn masking).
