This review is from: Digital Imaging: Tips, Tools, and Techniques for Photographers (Paperback)

I purchased this book because of the claim on the back cover that the topic of getting your digital images into a form that can be printed using conventional analog darkroom techniques was covered. It is very hard to find information on this subject anywhere in the vast library of books covering the subject of digital imaging. The introduction to the book states that in chapter 8 "You will learn about getting your digital images into a form that can be printed using conventional analog - silver based darkroom techniques. This includes examples such as making 4X5 negatives and transparencies from your images." Guess what - there is nothing in chapter 8 or anywhere else in this book that discusses these techniques.
