FAQs
What is wet plate photography?
Wet plate photography is a collodion process from the 1850s that produces tintypes and glass plates with a silvery metallic sheen, shallow focus, and hand-poured borders. The look is defined by high silver contrast, tactile texture, and streaked, uneven plate edges.
How do I create wet plate photography with AI?
You make wet plate photography with AI on Morphic, right in your browser. Open the Image tool, describe the subject, the silver sheen, and the poured plate edges, and Morphic renders the tintype look. No collodion, chemicals, or darkroom needed.
How do I get the wet-plate silver sheen and texture?
Ask for it directly: "collodion tintype, metallic silver sheen, shallow field, hand-poured streaked borders." Naming the silver tonality and the pour marks is what separates a wet-plate frame from an ordinary black-and-white portrait.
How do I keep a set of wet-plate images consistent?
Use the Style Transfer workflow to lock the silver tonality, shallow focus, and poured borders from your first plate, then carry it across the set. Each image can show a different sitter or study while the whole series holds one antique register.
Can I add a title or caption to a wet-plate image?
Yes. Generate the plate with open backdrop space reserved, then open the Canvas to place a title or caption as a layer. Keeping the type separate lets you adjust the wording without regenerating the collodion frame underneath.
Do I need a wet-plate camera to make these images?
No. Morphic runs in your browser and works from plain-language prompts, so you do not need a plate camera, collodion, or a darkroom. Describing the silver sheen and poured edges is enough to produce a finished tintype-style image.
