Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

Well I see someone already answered your question for me! But if you read the first sentence of my O.P.

 " I know this will sound strange but it is out of artistic curiosity I would like to try this."

So you see I knew someone might wonder the same thing as you. There are a lot of artistic things that can be done both during and After the print has been made, things like different kinds of bleaches (farmers reducer for one) Different kinds of toning, hand tinting, different papers, I could go one.  So I guess the next question is why do I want to bother with Digital Black and White? Same reasons.

Thanks for you reply!

Alan
