Or, you could just produce color separations for digital negatives and make tricolor gum bichromate prints.


I guess I could but my interest is in making images that exercise the potential of human vision and create as lifelike an image as possible. Color processes like gum bichromate seem to color as pictorialism was to the potential of photography to render subjects accurately - I have heard these called "a way for folks who have trouble holding a brush steady to imagine they are painters." Paintings that attempt to be photographs seem to disappoint as much as photographs that attempt to emulate painting. There is probably a value in both, but there is also a value in creating images that very accurately record color as was once done with dye transfers.
