Re: Digital Pt/Pd tones continued
Nick, I have experience making an enlarged negative from a 4x5 output to a
16x20 film negative. WHile the print was a computer generated mathematical
equation ( fractual) it showed little residue from it's time in digital
suspense. I printed the negative on platine and it has been well received.
I saw little or no effect of the transition. This may have been due to the
subject matter.
