I also highly recommend a small book, which describes the process in a more workbook like format, emphasizing the properly exposed negative and "Proper Proof" print.

Brooks Jensen, Editor of the LensWork Quarterly, states in the Foreword; "I believe this information is the most important technique guide since the Ansel Adams books taught so many of us how to make better black & white prints." I agree completely. An absolute MUST if you are even thinking about inserting a digital step in your process. An excellent Photoshop resource.

Certainly puts Mr. Hutchings in the class with Ansel Adams and Dan Burkholder as having had the greatest impact on my photography. It is possible that you will make the negatives for which you have always strived.
