Description
Alt Process Exposure Calc helps you lock in a reliable “standard exposure” for alternative photographic printing. Enter your baseline time, the first max-black step from a wedge where you can not see a line from the transparency or white if you are calibrating polymer, and steps-per-stop—then the app does the maths and records your setup.
Made for
Cyanotype, Platinum/Palladium, Salt, Carbon, Photopolymer & other alt processes.
What it does:
Calculates a precise standard exposure from a step wedge.
Simple process picker (Cyanotype, Platinum/Palladium, Salt, Carbon, Photopolymer, Other).
Optional notes for paper, ink, and aquatint timing.
Export your records to Google Sheets (with an included Apps Script you paste once).
Newest-first log with pastel row tinting by process.
How export works
You’ll paste a small, safe Google Apps Script into a Sheet (instructions in-app). Tap Export to push a new row with the date, process, exposure, and notes. The sheet auto-formats and keeps the latest records at the top.
Why it helps
records exposures across papers and processes
A clean archive of what actually worked
