Today, I had a go at enlarging a digital negative created from a 5x4 negative.
The maximum negative size my enlarger can take is 6x7 so I scanned in the 5x4 negative and resized it down to 6x7 cm.
I them created the correction curve for Ilford Pearl RC and then printed it out on to some transfer film.
I then put that in the enlarger and created a 10x8 print from it.
Initial thoughts are that there appears to be quite a bit of artefacts which looks like noise. I still need to figure out where this is coming from, my initial thoughts are that the original scan had some sharpening applied to it and when I reduce the size to 6x7cm, Photoshop added its own sharpening interpolation.
My gut feeling tells me to evaluate the image after Photoshop has done its dance to see if any more sharpening is required which I don't think it will.
