Darkroom print / lambda / c-type print

Use Case

Shooting analog and then having it printet in a darkroom on wet print is expensive..
It does however have a nice look to it (see attached).
kinda muted contrast where the blacks are crushed in a weird milky way.
The edges of subjects kinda have a halo that isn't just diffusion/mist.
I did create a photoshop action for this once that did get that "milky" feeling to it. But i'm counting on Color.io to remove all of my technical creative obstacles! :)

I'm throwing all kinds of word around that are not necessarily right and probably say alot about my knowledge on the subject.

@tue that looks really interesting! Almost like a negative diffusion where the dark edges are blurred and overlayed over the image to create that black halo. What exactly are you doing in your photoshop actions to replicate this look?

Exactly. I’ll try to recreate it and get back to you-

Okay it's something along the lines of having a layer where the picture is blurred and then a layer with highpass(set to softlight) to pull the details back in. Then play with the opacity of the blurred layer. This is by no means the goal that i'm seeking, but just the closest i could get right now

Okay, i just tried inputting a negativ version of the image into color.io and used the halation effect. Then back into photoshop and inverted it (luminosity mode)----
