If I like the way a film image prints after I scan it and give it a more 'digital' look, then that's fine. If I like a digital file (usually a B&W) when I print it to have a more Tri-X/D-76 look, then I'll do that. I agree for a show it's a lot better to have a consistent look, whatever direction you would like that to be, but overall? It's up to you, your editor, your client, whatever... My main problem is that I have gone in too many directions and tried too many things with my personal images and have had a hard time sticking with a single 'look' either for my subject matter, technique or output over the years. Only for clients have I done that. Henning On 2012-10-02, at 7:36 PM, Marty Deveney wrote: > I like all my photos to look the same, however they have been shot.
