I'm not but from my experience there's a lot of failure and frustration associated with producing quality wet prints too (especially when paying others to do it for me). > The once a month ordeal of scanning a slide and resizing it for the PUG is > more > than I can stand. I'm in a bad mood for three days afterwards. I agree about the scanning bit but direct digital capture can not be remotely likened to film/print scanning. Most often my digital captured images benefit from very little post processing work after the RAW conversion, which if I'm be very specific might take me 30 seconds an image these days. > Some like the digital process and some don't. Some don't like wet printing too due to bad past experiences. Have someone that knows what they are doing show you the ropes and I'm sure it would all be much easier (as in any new process).
