Hi All,
Work flow is not a digital term. It's a process and product management
term. It's simply a term used for how one gets to the end product.
There are a lot of ways to produce an image. The people who made
tapestries complained about the upstarts who used oil paints. And the
trend has continued ever since.
The dark room may not be an inherently magical place, but it is a place
of ritual more than any computer. What the darkroom lacks is an undo
button. One wrong step, one incorrect movement in the ritual and you
have to start again.
I always enjoyed working in a darkroom, but I produce more on a
computer. When working on images that are for me I enjoy both, for
things I have to get done for someone else I'll stick to the computer as
it's quicker and I can get to my things quicker.

If you paint with light.......... you use an enlarger.
The painting with light does not finish with the camera exposure.
Mudh more is done in the darkroom.
This is what digital removes. Yes, you can fiddle with pixels all you
like
and change iso and white balance etc but it is not light, it is binary.
Um, what's the difference between a pixel and a grain of silver? Both
are highly technical processes, and I still fail to see how one has
magic where the other does not.
I understand the feeling of people who work with computers all day that
they don't want to work with computers on their free time, but the
feeling is the same for those who work in the darkroom all day. The
darkroom is not an inherently magical place -- it is what you bring into
it. The computer is the same.
