I think what we're seeing here is that with film lots of the poorer combinations of emulsions and development have already been tried and rejected; the process has been tested and results analyzed enough over the decades that there's already a vast body of knowledge to draw on. Digital image processing is still relatively new and with each new camera we're back at the bottom of its learning curve, just like with a new film or developer. > ... given all the different possibilities, how do you find the "best" workflow for > each? Try all the combinations out? This is exactly what Adams and many others did for film/exposure/development, and what Tina is now doing with the 5D and M8. > Ever wonder why some don't use digital cameras.......? ... and why I don't develop my film?
