Hi:

This is an excellent book. Discusses techniques for making negatives with
a computer. All done with Photoshop. I own a copy - not finished reading
it yet.

This is a way of doing enlarged negatives

Many alternative processes need negatives with significantly different
properties than a negative used for silver printing. Can be used to fine
tune a negative to a particular process.

The current scanners and printers are now becoming capable of doing a good
enough job that one can do this one their own provided they have
reasonable equipment.

LOTS of discussion of this on the alt-photo-process list :)
