2x3 to 5x7 platinum printing 411
hi,
i want to acquire a 5x7 camera to try some platinum/albumen prints, but right now all i have is a 2x3 camera (and 4x5, but i want the other aspect ratio). until i get a decent 5x7, is there any way to get a 2x3 neg and scan/print it out larger to get to a 5x7 size? without losing too much detail??? is this a pipe dream? thanks

You can then enlarge the image and print it on transparent film and use it for contact printing. Good scanners allow 6-8x enlargements from negatives without difficulty. Do a Google search on digital negatives and you'll find some additional links. -- Robert D Feinman Landscapes, Cityscapes and Panoramic Photographs http://robertdfeinman.com mail:

When you say print it on "transparent film" do you mean Pictorico?
