Right, I would not want to present a photo as Kodachrome or whatever 
unless it was, just as I would not want to present an inkjet print as 
one of my platinum prints (although, once behind glass.......).  As I 
mentioned, I just use the PS plug-ins to get the effect I like for a 
particular image - it might be Exposure 3 "film stock" or something 
else.  Fortunately, I am just an amateur who has fun with his hobby and 
does not have to be concerned with strictures.   This behavior is 
probably traced to the darkroom, where I took to things such as burning 
and dodging, split filtering, unsharp masks and such.  I know what you 
mean about the film cameras.  I still have my 4x5 and 8x10 outfits, and 
some 120 and 35mm, and can't bring myself to sell them.
