This is not meant to start another digital vs film flame war among pundits of one or the other. Instead I am hoping for honest, informed and unbiased feedback from those that have meaningful experience with film and digital imaging and printing.
In a discussion on one of the digital photography forums earlier this year it was maintained that the printed digital image appeared flat and 2 dimensional when compared with a film print whether it was printed digitally or not. This opinion appeared widely shared on the thread with some speculating that the 3 dimensionality of a film print was due to film's multiple layers. Since reading that thread I have noticed film manufactures advertisements touting the 3 dimensional aspects of film images along with a new 4th layer.
Are prints from digital cameras truly two dimensional?
