just a little comment, with no intention of starting any trouble. i have worked quite a bit doing traditional b/w prints, even up to the piont of making acetate "dodging" masks for some difficult negatives, and have spent a lot of time getting what i was looking for traditionally. however i have just finished producing a series of colour prints digitally and never have i spent so much time on each negative (scan) to get it the way i want it. the results are very satisfying and my point is that these digital prints are ironically far more "handmade" than any traditional process that i have used.
