Scanning film and printing digitally can easily be an equal to chemical printing, whether you know it or not, or believe it or not...it is! Such asinine statements really are cause for not taking you seriously. I don't care if you've had a bad day or not, but telling someone they are "losers" and that something one spends the better part of their creative life doing is "a sorry second" is all absolutely uncalled for and way out of line! Marc, you are truly ignorant on this topic!
