It seems to me that with digital: Light enters lens, hits sensor, software in the camera corrects color How is that different from: Light enters lens, hits film, film is scanned, software in computer (eg, PS) corrects color If a filter would help in the pre-light-hits-film phase, why wouldn't it help in the pre-light-hits-sensor phase? Inquiring minds want to know. -Aaron >There are definitely times when PS offers the best, if not the only >option for color correction.
