Digital BW, The Print

Here's what I used to do back in the '90's:  Scanned black & white  
( color transparencies, too), did the digital retouching/ altering/  
fixing, then
had them output usually as 4X5 film negatives. Photos that were  
filled with scratches, and needing contrast/ density adjustments,    
could be fixed and printed
in silver -  corrected,  alternative processes, or whatever  
experimental things one would like to try.

There are several labs in the NY/Boston area that still do this, and  
I'd guess a number of others around the country as well.

Hope this helps.
