Without first-hand experience[1], I think that we are confusing exposure and outcome. Yep, shoot to the right to include a lot of information on the digital negative. Then post-process as you like to produce the image that you prefer. Sure, you won't get the character of Tri-X pushed that many then developed in agitated urine or whatever. Kostas [1] That's exactly the thing, I still shoot film because I prefer to have someone else do all these things for me. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
