I posted my question to rec.photo.darkroom <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.photo.dar kroom/browse_frm/thread/a6d46e2c0898a922/dd3065d29 e11bae4#dd3065d29e11bae4> and towards the bottom of the page I received a very interesting response. So based on what was suggested, I would put the print at the bottom of the enlarger and a photosensitized board where the negative would be. Illuminate the print out and the the board will be exposed and the image reduced. He mentions this using a process camera, but it may be doable with photographic enlarger. My next question, which I posted, was to ask if an lcd display could be put in place. Of course this would require a photoresist that works in the visible range. Not sure if that exists or not. If that is feasible it would be possible to go directly from cad work directly to exposing the board. If an appropriate jig is used it should be very easy to do double sided boards as well. Initial alignment could be tricky as well, but should not need to be altered once it is set. I sense a lot of scepticism about my idea, but to me this sounds much more promising and maybe even easier than even what I had originally envisioned. I guess time will tell.
