Re: Digital Silver/Platinum

Don,

Yes, I gave up platinum 1-1/2 years ago for a number of reasons 
including allergy to the Potassium Oxalate. I have found that I have 
a huge demand for platinum prints but I have no desire to build 
enlarged negatives as I once did.

So in comes digital negatives. Now I am once again getting excited 
about printing.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy inkjet printing, but I get a lot 
of resistance from galleries. So I figure I can get the best of both 
worlds. The excellent adjustment abilities of Photoshop, and the 
elegance of Platinum/Palladium.
