I do like some of the stuff being done using ( IMO tasteful) filters. Pointillism, different brush strokes, focus and de-focus, "grain" effects ( I really like Marks' statement of icy developer to boiling water using TriX.. as I did this myself when I was about 14.... the negative still haunts me)....etc. This is where digital methods offer a superb advantage to the average and more than average darkroom worker. The "palette" of effects gets so much enhanced. However, Jerry Uelsman ( sp.?), I think has the talent to do this using a wet darkroom..... How many more of us have the expertise or the time to learn the expertise? I think the digital darkroom needs to be embraced as a wonderful tool, even today. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
