Hey all,
Maybe this had been discussed before, but I just had a thought:
Take any high quality digital file, print it(after inverting in Photoshop) onto an optically clear material, then sandwich it with an unexposed, developed piece of film base. Optically enlarge it to the print size intended, just as you would with any other traditionally exposed/processed in-camera color negative... This way a fully corrected file could be printed at home from any digital file.
Of course, you'd need an appropriate inkjet printer capable of printing at extremely high dpi settings.
What say y'all? I know that lightjet is there(heck even Costco), but just an idea I had.
Could be a way of controlling more stuff to the degree some people like, without resorting to traditional color/contrast masking methods. The clear, orange film base would simply serve as that, the inverted color negative would be printed into clear Mylar/acetate.
