There is also a book by Dan Burkholder ...Making Digital Negatives that is
excellent. He can be found on the WEB also.
Both systems include special adjustment curves for Photoshop that you can load
and apply after you finish making all your adjustments of your scans. These
curves adjust the image to be printed specificly for platinum or silver. I
haven't yet compared the two systems to see how they vary.
Good luck... let me know how it goes. I am about to do the same thing.

<<I have a general question for the list regarding digital negatives. I am
wishing to begin exploring this path for making negs for my gum prints,
and I have been reading various articles etc about the procedures.
Some questions that arose
1. I have read that you should use a drum scanner for scanning negatives,
and then send the files to a film bureau.
Now I am wondering, is it possible to use a flatbed scanner?
2. What dpi should you scan at for a scanned neg?
I know from the list that a number of people are using inkjet printers to
output negs - I wanting to make slightly larger negs, and of strange
sizes so I want to use a film bureau. So do you tell the film bureau -
right reading emulsion down, with a 225 dot screen?
Thank you for your replies
