I have been thinking of exactly the same thing. I can get scanning and
output film at a very modest price from a local bureau where I once used to
get my etching supplies. Having done an enormous amount of scanning in
recent months and corrections I know that all the masking for highlight and
shadow separation can be done in the computer and that the output may be
sharper than the original. What a way to make negs for printing out by
sunlight.
