I know this has been discussed in the past but I thought it would be nice to have an up to date discussion on this.

For background, I shoot 8x10 color and black and white. I do my own processing of both and then scan on a creo and print on an epson 9900.

The last couple of years I have been shooting primarily color but feel a strong desire to get back to black and white. This time around though I want to incorporate my analog and digital process with a final output being analog.

I want to be able to make large prints eventually, in the 30x40 range.

I have no clue where to begin so any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.


first off is it worth perusing, are any of you doing this and are you happy with the results?

Are there good current books on this? I have seen some older books such as one by Danny Burkholder (sp?) called the digital negative. I am guessing there are more current techniques.

I haven't done traditional darkroom printing in many years, I would prefer not to have to buy an 8x10 enlarger but in the end that may be the only answer.

Thanks in advance!
