How Do You Transfer Images To Stone Or Metal Using Liquid Light?
A three-dimensional surface can take on a new look with the right superimposed image. This technique will allow you to transfer a photographic image using Liquid Light and a darkroom. Prepare the Surface Step 1 Choose your stone or piece of metal. Keep in mind that an image will show up better on a light surface – and that, for this technique, you’ll need a relatively flat surface.
