I bought Burkholder's book, and found it completely confusing, and the proceedure much too complicated.

I have the book, and I thought it was fairly good. He has some tutorial-like chapters on this that I more or less skipped, so I can't comment on how it is for a real beginner to digital imaging. He does have a sense of humor in the book, which is nice. I was able to make a few inkjet negs (Epson 870) and then silver prints, and they look fine except I have to tune my curves for my paper to lower contrast.
Here's a URL with more info. It's not a substitute for the book, but it does give the basics of how to use Photoshop's curves to make the negative. http://www.slonet.org/~dkrehbie/2photo/outneg/outneg.htm
