I think people trivialize just how complicated film, projectors, viewers and albums are because we are so familiar with them, and find the messy discussions that go on about the differences between RAW and TIFF, TIFF and JPEG complex because they are dealing with new concepts. Film and its processing mechanisms are a very complex thing which took 200 years of development to produce to the current quality standards...
