Dan Burkholder's award-winning book is a step-by-step guide to making affordable enlarged negatives for contact printing on silver, platinum & other contact printing processes. Any photographer with access to a computer that can run Adobe Photoshop (R) can use this simple technique for producing digital negatives for as little as $7.00 for an 8 x 10 inch negative. MAKING DIGITAL NEGATIVES FOR CONTACT PRINTING was awarded "Best Technical Book" by PHOTO EYE, the world's largest distributor of photography books, calling it a "revolutionary book on this innovative & affordable technique." Ted Orland, photographer, writer & former assistant to Ansel Adams said of the book: "I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of books I've read in recent years that have the expressive clarity & tangible value of MAKING DIGITAL NEGATIVES FOR CONTACT PRINTING." In addition to the easy-to-follow text, illustrations & photographs, Burkholder's book includes two 3.5-inch disks (both Mac & PC) & a calibration print. Those photographers & printers wishing to combine the power & visual intrigue of digital imaging with the beauty & permanence of traditional photographic printing will find the book invaluable.
