Printmaking The
process of pre-visualizing the final reproduction of a photographic
image and using several techniques that are subtly applied to improve
reproduction quality. Burning and dodging is one printmaking technique
that is widely used. While printmaking is used to balance disparate
tones and compensate for limitations in different image capture and
reproduction systems, it also allows photographers to recreate the mood
they attempted to record.
