Given that most people use film I think it is perfectly legitimate to compare film with digital.

Herbs article makes some valid points about the "digital darkroom" and its drawbacks , and I think that its good discipline for both film and digital practicioners to look to getting the best image to start with, rather than tinkering with things later on.

I wonder if he has learned to use it properly yet? I found it amazing that he

been a

contrast setting to minimum.
Well, print film has had always much wider lattitude than slide film, not
only digital. This test would be much more fair if Keppler would use slide
film :-) And of course setting right WB on *istD would bring far better
results in colour comparisons and you need no computer to achieve this, so I
guess he hasn't learned (or wanted) to use it yet :-)
