I disagree. He was doing digital imaging before he died. He would work
with book publishers to laser scan is photos, and he even has said
several times that he could get better quality that way than he could
in the darkroom.
I think that put's it in perspective. He would have been a master of
Photoshop - and I bet he'd be using a Mac. And yes, using a Fuji
printer.

His bad opponent's "facts" he sweeps away,
And drags his sophistry to light of day;
Then swears they're pushed to madness who resort
To falsehood of so desperate a sort.
Not so; like sods upon a dead man's breast,
He lies most lightly who the least is pressed.
