This does seem like a plausible alternative Bob. I may try it too.

From my earlier post: "the point I was making was that you can use Photoshop to print a positive image, color or b&w, and do all the retouching and curve altering you would do to produce an inkjet negative. I have an Ansco(maybe a 1930 build)5x7. I've used it, and smaller formats to copy inkjet printed positive images, resulting in negatives suitable for contact prints OR enlarging. I don't have to worry about the ink smudging on my negative since it is on silver film. Now, I know that's not what everyone else is doing, but it works similar, and if I had an 8x10 camera, or a 16x20 camera as a friend does, I could make larger film negatives for alternative or contact prints." The fact is that it works well. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
