I find it interesting that there is such resistance to the new technology. In the past, Photographer's embraced every new camera and film that made a new method possible, even the Realists.

I' like to upload a pdf as a digital negative primer
but my files are always too big for APUGand i cannot make them any smaller.if interested email me at rlambrec@ymail.com. that often works better. It's free of course
I'd suggest a different title since that document is specifically about making digital negatives via imagesetter for silver gelatin prints. My guess is that most digital negatives are now printed on inkjet printers (the majority for alt processes rather than silver gelatin).
