Indeed. Since all my clients are editorial, I now have full control of what they get. I can send it to them quicker, even if I shoot on film and scan. Typical delivery time is one to two days after shooting, as I post a low rez albulm on my server for the art director to choose from, then load high rez edited shots onto the server for them to download. I do not differentiate between digital and film in my charges, though film is slightly more costly (in labor time) for me to shoot. I've had two recent assignments that I successfully mixed the two in the delivery. The good thing was that after a quick delivery, the editor asked me if I had a couple other themes, and I was able to direct him to examples on my website of what he needed, and in addition to the assignment, I made sales of three other individual shots. Obviously, I do not make my living from editorial photography, and if I did, I probably would gear up more digital, because from what I can tell, now-a-days, when it comes to digital or analog media, the response is probably, "don't ask, don't tell," and digital IS easier for editorial.
