I've been agonizing over paper since the demise of Azo. I'm now trying out other silver chloride papers, but I'm also experimenting with alt process - salt prints primarily. Obviously the negatives need to be developed to far different CIs for the two processes, and I've agonized over how to get both.

It now seems that perhaps the best way would be to develop my negatives for the silver chloride paper, and work out the process for making a digital (perhaps enlarged) negative for alt process. Am I on the right track?

Yup. Another advantage of the digital negative process.

Right you are sir. An advantage as Joe points out.
