Enlarger for digital photographs on photographic paper utilizing a software application

A method for enlarging digital photographs onto photosensitive material, the method comprising:

• receiving a digital photograph at a photograph enlarger, the photograph enlarger comprising an enlarger stand from which an enlarger chassis projects, and a carriage comprising a light source, a condenser, a focal lens, and a removable projector module, wherein the carriage is connected to a support that is displaceable along the enlarger chassis for allowing the carriage to be positioned at a desired height above the enlarger chassis;
• illuminating a base of the enlarger with an image preview;
• adjusting height of the enlarger chassis to adjust size of the image preview;
• and
• exposing a photosensitive material through the removable projector module.

A photograph enlarging system, comprising:

• a photograph enlarger;
• and
• a computing device configured to execute a software application configured to control the enlarger to generate an image on a photosensitive material, by:
• transmitting a digital photograph to a photograph enlarger, the photograph enlarger comprising an enlarger stand from which an enlarger chassis projects, and a carriage comprising a light source, a condenser, a focal lens, and a removable projector module, wherein the carriage is connected to a support that is displaceable along the enlarger chassis for allowing the carriage to be positioned at a desired height above the enlarger chassis;
• instructing the enlarger to illuminate a base of the enlarger with an image preview;
• instructing the enlarger to adjust height of the enlarger chassis to adjust size of the image preview;
• and
• instructing the enlarger to expose a photosensitive material through the removable projector module.
