Digital negatives - Analog printing

[JimCollum]

How many have tried to marry the two.. analog and digital.. together?

Currently there are two main systems for the calaibration of digital negatives.. Dan Burkholder's (the pioneer) http://www.danburkholder.com/ , and and Mark Nelson, precision digital negatives http://www.precisiondigitalnegatives.com/ .

I started off with Dan's method, but have moved to Mark's.. which provides much smoother midtones in platinum prints. I use the negatives for platinum/palladium printing.

Anyone else out there??

I haven't tried it myself but I do own a couple of pt/pd prints produced using Burkholder's process on rag paper and I love them - they retain all the romance of a true old film look and traditional printing.

I haven't tried it, but am anxious to give it a go. Have you tried either method with VDB?

Kevin, I'm overjoyed that you post here. I am so keen to have analog photography nurtured in any way possible. Unfortunately most phtographers todat have never seen an image appearing in the red light of a darkroom. Platinim prints seem so exotic. but all these are still here!

I appreciate that you make available a tool to help printing in B&W be integrated with the digital world.

I'm hoping we'll now get examles of prints. I guess photographs of the prints would be needed to appreciate the tones. Any offers anyone?

Maybe I have to come to Silicon Valley to see what you do!
