"Dan Burkholder, the author is both guru and pioneer. His book has fused together the traditional and modern techniques of digital imaging by showing you how to produce digital negatives without the use of traditional film.
His method of producing large-size digital contact negatives with your inkjet printer, then printing them in your darkroom is the path for the ""new-age"" black and white photographer. These negatives would then be typically used as affordable enlarged negatives for platinum, silver gelatine, cyanotype and other contact printing processes. The book tells you everything you need to know to print either on multigrade or others and includes the tricks and Photoshop short cuts to get you there in this 352-page masterpiece.
We stock the transparency film needed, and with this book (plus CD for MAC/PC included) you will be printing in your darkroom (without film) in no time.
