Duane, Because if you don't control the highlights with slide film, you get unusable pictures. The shadows can go down quite a ways and you can pull detail out of it with masking or Photoshop. You can't restore detail. Believe it, this is a basic principle of shooting slide film since Mannes and Godowski (sp?) played music to time the Kodachrome process.
