Darkroom Update 3

The enlarger is now aligned! Took some three hours, three wood screws, two pieces of moleskin and a laser tool. The next step will be to select a few negatives with which to work. First of all the selected negatives will be scanned. The scanned images will be adjusted using computer programs and then printed. These digital prints will be compared with silver prints produced in the darkroom. This will be a check on both analog and digital photography. Off to the negative files while the scanner warms up. Check back to see what happens next. (click on image to enlarge)

Your darkroom looks nice! I remember the day of developing our own photos in high school. My dad was audio/visual director and the darkroom was handily in his office! Don't think I would remember how to process photos now, though.

Not sure-after being away from a darkroom for ten years- I remember how to make prints. The next few weeks will tell.
