This is after you've tweaked your scan or capture in Photoshop you can out
put it so a place can output it to negative film at any size you fill in.
This I think has made for a boom in alternative processes. Most of which
rely on contact printing and a sunny day or a bank of florescent lights.
Thing can be outputted negative or positive on film or paper. Or as a 35mm
slide. Or other format slides I'd think.

Sounds like a cake and eat it too kind of situation.

But keeping it all analog like Dennis does probably has advantages.

Thing is don't you have to make a film positive then from that make a film
negative? That's what kills me.
Yin Yang Yin.
