I don't much like the look of digital capture, but the workflow starting with the digital image is wonderful. The ultimate is a great scan from film, prepared in Photoshop on a properly calibrated workstation, then sent out for printing on sensitized material with something like a Durst Lambda digital laser imager. Truly the best of both worlds... --Jim -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jplaurel=spectare.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jplaurel=spectare.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of B. D.

And here I come down with both feet on the side of digi. PhotoShop gives far more control, and far easier control, over image manipulation than any wet darkroom. I'd argue that if money is no object, the way to go today is to send scanned neg files - prepared in PhotoShop - or original digital files to a wet lab with a Fuji Lightjet or similar system where the digital image drives controls the exposure of silver paper.
