Jill Enfield, a respected fine art, editorial and commercial shooter, proves that you don’t have to be a digital manipulation maven to get good use out of Genuine Fractals. Enfield vastly prefers hands-on techniques with deep roots in the history of photography to the current craze for computer retouching. In her efforts to spread knowledge of historical processes, she has taught hand-coloring and historical printing techniques at Parsons and other top design schools. She has even written a book of complete instructions for such 19th and early 20th -century processes as cyanotype, kallitype, Van Dyke and tintype. Her work in these media has also been widely displayed, collected and published.
"I really feel that you have to take a good picture to begin with and then use tools to bring out everything that you put in. That’s what Genuine Fractals does. It allows you to get the best possible print out of the computer. It makes sure that all the information you originally captured is still there when you enlarge the image."
