I don't see myself moving totally to digital unless and until I can use my Leica lenses. There is no digital equivalent to the Noctilux! I scan all of my edited negatives and slides at the highest possible dpi (4000 on my LS4000) and save that as a Genuine Fractal file along with a small jpeg on Kodak Gold Ultima CD's. Those are filed in filing cabinets with the negatives and slides. An inventory of the CD's and their contents is kept on the computer in my Portfolio program. For prints, I open the GF file and adjust the levels, resize, remove dust, etc. in Photoshop. I open a new file that is the size of the print I want to make and move the photo onto that canvas, putting a title underneath and centering the photo. That file is saved as a tiff and is printed through Piezography software with my Epson 3000's. The tiff file is saved on another CD with other files of prints. There is no need to make dupes since I can always print another photo exactly the same using that file. Hope this helps!
