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.
