So that bit looks ok and reasonably straight forward. Most people seem to use the B&S chemistry with the Ferric oxalate no 1, ferric oxalate no 2 with potassium dichromate and the Pd/Pt salt mix solution. In order to make digital negative, does one need to use Photoshop? I just use Lightroom for all my stuff now, as it handles all the DNGs from my DMRs and M9 as well as any filmscans. No point in going any further buying salts, if I need to buy a copy of PS first. Mastering making a decent digital negative seems to be the first priority.
