An apparatus and method for enlarging digital photographs in a dark room environment by interchanging the film carrier with a digital projection module, wirelessly receiving the digital photograph data within the digital projection module and then automatically and wirelessly configuring the enlarger to generate the enlarged photograph on photosensitive printing paper. The apparatus and method include a software application for use on a computing device containing the digital photographs that permits the user to wirelessly communicate with the enlarger to configure and control the enlarger for printing. The digital projection module permits the enlarger to be easily reconfigured for enlarging photographs produced from film. An alternative is also disclosed that uses a laser projector instead of the interchangeable digital projection module for generating enlarged prints from digital photographs. The software application also permits burn and dodge effects in the print.
