Wow, I can only agree with this. I've never done darkroom "wet" printing, but I've scanned and printed a ton of 35mm film. It always meant minutes per image to go from negative to something that I could get a decent print from. So I only did all the work for a few of the images I took. With the *ist D and the K10D, I rarely "dink" with them at all to do 8" x 10" (20cm x 25cm) prints. I convert the RAW to TIFF in batches, doing whatever color adjustments (usually none) and sharpening (usually moderate) are needed during the RAW conversion. After that, all I do is crop, size, and print. My workflow is so much faster with direct-to-digital, and no incremental film and developing costs, so I'm shooting two to three times as many frames. It's pretty handy to have large memory cards, too ... even with shooting RAW on the K10D, a 2GB card is still two and a half rolls of 24 exposure film. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
