Hi,

Actually, Adams was looking forward to what he called "electronic"
photography, and I'm sure he'd have developed some great techniques using
Photoshop.  The problem, as I see it, with a lot of the yahoos "developing"
various techniques for photographers is that they, themselves, have never
been photographers, or worked in a darkroom, or made their own prints.  I'm
not saying that's an absolutely necessary requirement, but it does seem an
important consideration - at least for me.

The "Duke of Digital" has left out a very important step in the technique
Dave referenced, and it will have a deleterious effect on the results.
