<p>replacing lenses in projectors is one thing , the other is the fittings are generally impossible to adapt ,interesting that many have come back to my original fall back of rephotographing the digital print . it seems that the general idea is in production with the digital projector , just tht no manufacturer sees the use as far as the photographers in general as everyone just likes to press buttons in their new clothes and not get chemicals on their hands or ruin their perfect persona. not photography in my way of thinking I have to run after I photograph some subjects and often cornered and made to delete the image .. its what photography is about .. risk</p>

<p>nope not colour , and I know all of thee options in a general sense , just that I thought as these days they use digital projectors there may be a smaller version that I could use to expose the paper ,the acetate negative and all those printers sound horrific to me , want to stay with photography not technology ,just its what I know , no more time to learn .. 'shortcut' in terms of if anyone knows what I dont in the digital world. I may have to try a digital projector and pin the paper to the wall ..</p>

<p>I can understand where you are all coming from , you see the answer as a problem of how to overcome a printing option . but I initially asked if there was a shortcut. I am able to send on the email to a lab and receive a neg , but I want to simply print and develop my neg myself as there are options for me to solarize and fog parts as an artistic choice relating to daguerreotypes which to me are perfection and the crudity of the developing I find part of the attraction.I do film on film as in photographing tv screens or through 3rd party negs to an original subject .my work comes from 2 or 3 stages of images through images , not high end pro gallery images , they relate to war and the way it was filmed ...hope this clears up the tech side , just want to plug a camera into an enlarger really , de vere has gone too far assuming we all want rolls royces ., the chinese will make something as usual I suppose , it will be basic as I want it to be , so I must wait c</p>

<p>ok looked at it and what fool spends 5000 to make a negative ..no wonder photographers are obsessed with tech and then lose the artistic edge while companies like that exist for profit selling high tech rocket fuelled equipment , its about when you press the button , not how many times or when the camera says yes ,no to auto functions . the daguerreotype has its own beauty no matter how crude . I have a mini scanner to copy negs and all I want to do is reverse it to project and expose the negative from a digital source , how hard can that be c</p>

<p>De Vere 504 DS Didital Enlarger am going to look for this , but am always hampered by money in my life but its a start thanks </p>

<p>these are all companies and having once been a worker in the machine instrument business in my youth I know how easy these are to make , just thought someone was making a heath robinson beginners models out there , maybe have to botch it together myself only need a scanner reduction of a projectable image onto slide ,doesnt seem such a problem c</p>

<p>sort of guessed they do that in labs but wanted more control over the print than a contact or a 60 second machine job , but eventually someone will put their hand into that profit wallet and make something I suppose,after all they made a vacuum cleaner when a broom did just as well . thanks , a help to have a second opinion c</p>

<p>ok thanks ,thought maybe there was a usb enlarger in the pipeline back to the drawing board</p>

<p>does anyone know a shortcut other than digitally printing a neg or positive onto clear acetate then make a wet print from it .I need to print my art prints from a digital camera onto silver bromide via an enlarger ? thanks c</p><div></div>
