New Book


The B&W Film Alchemist by Tim Layton - www.timlaytonfineart.com

If you shoot black and white film and use digital tools to scan, edit, and print, this book was written for you.

15 films × 35 developer recipes from XTOL to ABC Pyro. Exposure → Scan → Print, fully calibrated.

For years, resources for B&W photographers have focused on darkroom workflows, ignoring the realities of today’s hybrid artists. So I created what didn’t exist:

The first in-depth guide built entirely around the needs of black-and-white film photographers who scan their negatives.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find another resource that goes this deep into the hybrid black-and-white film, scan, and edit workflow—written for working photographers.

You’ll get immediate access to the book in PDF format (154 pages) to view on any device, and you get free updates for life.

If you work hybrid, this is the handbook I wish I’d had—practical, repeatable, and deeper than anything I’ve seen elsewhere.

Limited-Time Bonus:
Order now and you’ll also receive a free bonus copy of my B&W Developer Formula Book ($49 value)—a comprehensive companion reference packed with verified chemical recipes, usage notes, and developer profiles optimized for hybrid workflows.
