I clicked on this thread without realizing that it was in the digi side... Then I read some of the posts just for the heck of it.
Anyone who thinks the name of this mag isn't offensive and misleading is just as clueless as whoever thought up the name. Any magazine that starts out with a lie for a title can sit on the shelves, or trashcan as it would be more appropriate.
Well, apparently none of you indignant critics bothered reading Scott's invitation to read his blog for the reasons behind the name. If you did, you would have realized that the magazine will not be available to the general public but exclusively as a free download for NAPP members.
What this means it that all of the splean-venting was in vain and you will not need to express your disgust by not buying the magazine. It also means that the magazine will not be left to rot on the shelves and the publisher will not be devastated as a result.
Perhaps reading a book or watching a move or reading a magazine, etc, before criticizing it isn't such a bad idea after all?
Oh boy oh boy! I can't wait until they do an article on Elwood enlargers! Golly gee whiz is this ever going to be a great magazine!

It is a stupid title, because it has nothing to do with a darkroom.
If I started a magazine about darkrooms and called it "Digital Post Processing" that would be stupid too.
I'm not overly worked up about it, because it is amusing, in a pathetic sort of way, and like all things digital, it will only be around for about two years.
Something like this maybe?
Great resource, by the way, nevermind the nonsensical title.
Yes, something like that. Not precisely, as the phrase "DigitalTruth" has no traditional meaning in the way "Darkroom" does, but thats close.
Gotta love that MDC.
Actually, DigitalTrugth has no meaning at all that I can see. Just a silly, capriciously chosen name, but who cares? It would make no difference whatsoever if they chose to call it "The Dancing Hyppo" or "Two White Mice" or something equally silly.
It is the content that matters and theirs is good for those of us who have an interest in it. The rest will just shrug and move on.
