Philippe mon ami,
This is true. However, you left out the worst part about digital.......
One now spends countless hours in front of the computer screen compared to
slide / negative selection on a light table where it takes mere minutes to
edit.
The biggest complaint by stock photography colleagues at Masterfile is the
computer time, even though they say it's wonderful their film/lab costs of
$15 -$20,000 a year are eliminated, they now spend far more time in front of
the screen and a great deal less shooting.
So I suppose like anything there's good, bad and ugly to every new fangled
product.
