I have some Ilford Multigrade Pearl enlarging paper that I had used when making b&w prints in a darkroom. In theory, could this paper be used to make prints in an inkjet printer? (The paper has been stored light-tight but is over 10 years old.) A. There are numerous reasons why this would be unworkable, but let’s give the biggest one: Darkroom paper is not designed to absorb inkjet ink, so you would be lucky to get an image at all. Undeveloped photo paper stock is also unstable—you’d need to fix it, and wash it, and dry it, or it would darken over time once exposed to light.

See the whole gallery here TECH SUPPORT Understanding Noise Say you're tuning a radio to a station with a weak signal. You turn up the volume and hear static. Why? By amplifying the signal, you're also amplifying unwanted stray electronic bits: audio noise.? Electronic noise in digital photos has the same cause: Amplify a weak signal from an imaging sensor too much, and you also amplify stray electrons in the sensor or elsewhere in the circuitry. It shows up in your pictures as coarse grain or color mottling. A digital sensor is basically an array of tiny light meters, called pixels. Each pixel reads the light level at its spot on the sensor, and this measurement is bundled with those from the other pixels to make a picture file. But if the tiny meters get too little light, the signal they send will be too weak unless—yep—you amplify the signal. And by doing that, you turn up the volume on the noise. Read the full article
