Kodak Metallic Printing/Paper

anyone used it yet?

I just ordered a print (I do landscape photography) and the photograph is very vivid, And from what I hear, this paper is really neat looking

anyone actually used it yet? if so.. what is the outcome? Is it 3d looking, or is the texture different..


I'm very anxious and curious

I've used it in the past. It works best with high contrast images. The only trick though is images look pretty dark when printed on it, since your tonal range goes from silver to black instead of white to black.

Play around with your polycontrast filters to blast out the highlights, so you can let the silver show through.

I'm amazed they still make that stuff. smile
