lmao, what exactly would this app do bro, this guy has his whole lifes experience in the darkroom im pretty sure he knows what hes doing

Robert Gonzales Yes he does know what he’s doing, because, as you say, he’s learnt from experience, in a time when there was no other way to make photographic prints, and for the diehards like him who continue to want to make their prints this way, then the enLARGE app simply lets him make all of his test and exploratory enlargements at small, cheap, quick-to-produce sizes, and then use the app to compute the exposure time needed to expose any larger enlargements. It doesn’t change the need for him to still have to make all of the same creative control decisions, it just saves time, photo paper and processing chems whilst doing it. If you ever get into darkroom enlarging you’ll discover two things: 1) it’s an intrinsically cheap, simple process that, with a little bit of know-how (partly in processing the negative first) can easily produce great looking prints and 2) it’s typically INCREDIBLY wasteful, with most darkroom operators trashing about 85% of their time and materials input (as shown in this video) and thus keeping only about 15% of it as finished work. enLARGE changes this spec to 90/10, with 10% going to trash and the remaining 90% coming through as finished work.
