Ctein

Ctein (pronounced "kuh-teen") is an internationally known photographer and expert on photographic printing, with a double degree from Caltech in English and Physics and a 30+ year career in photography and computers.

For 25 years he has been a master dye transfer printer, a complex and difficult process which produces the finest-quality photographic prints and has been mastered by only a very small percentage of color printers. He has been Kodak's featured photographer at the PMA professional show. He also specializes in photographic print preservation and digital restoration.

Ctein is the author of more than 500 articles, columns, books, and manuals on photography-related topics, and is a well-known member of the science fiction community. He lives in San Francisco.
