Has anyone tried this? You make a custom color separation of a photo, you add a mix of pigments to uv curable resin. You print your separations onto fixxons film . You apply a layer of colored resin to cling wrap over glass. You expose with uv light from underneath through your separations. You was off uncured resin with alcohol

I haven’t read about anyone trying this

That's basically what Printmaker's Friend is designed for. https://printmakersfriend.com/
@Andrew O'Neill has done some work with it. A similar approach is Zerochrome: https://zerochrome.org/

By extension, what you propose is similar to gum bichromate as well as other pigment processes.

So yes, it's been done, and is being done, quite a lot, with a variety of materials.
