Maybe. But I'm not so much arguing for fixing it as I am arguing against breaking it. Maybe what was wrong was the software that was being used. > Now, for a guy like you (and I mean that in a complimentary sense) knowing all the > technical stuff, especially in digital photography, is probably useful.

I can't read the Pentax code, but I can see what it does, and deduce a pretty good idea of how it goes about it. And if it does something I don't like, there's a good chance I'll be able to craft an alternative more to my liking. That's something I can do. I don't have the experience to know how different types of enlarger affect a print, or an encyclopaedic knowledge of the look-and-feel of different brands of paper. But digital image processing plays to my strengths.
