I’d think based on the physics of the real process, something like http://picasaweb.google.de/tinowildenhain/Cyanotype would more look like a real cyanotype. I see if I can produce a macro for gimp :-)

Here’s how to use the action in PhotoShop C2:

1. After you’ve downloaded the file from above, unzip it and then doubleclick it. [This part I am not too sure of as it all happened so quickly]. Open an image in PhotoShop.

2. Pick the Actions palette, which is beside the History palette.

3. Highlight “Triqui Cyano”.

4. Click the play button [a small arrow-head pointed to the right].

5. Click Continue, OK, OK.

6. Adjust Brightness/Contrast if needed, as suggested.

7. Smile. You’re done ;-)

I’m really keen to see what you have to say, but can not open the file. It has an odd file extension name. Are you able to save it all as a Word document or something else?

Thanks!
Sarah.

Sincerely,

Your action worked like a charm! It was a nice surprise to see it work so well. Perhaps you can publish some other modern actions for old photographic processes? I am a big fan of Edward Sheriff Curtis and his historic documentation of Native American Indians and priceless artifacts. The gold tone prints from his Copper Photogravure Plates are some of the most beautiful one can see. I will leave you with 2 URL’s so you can see for yourself. Here they are:
