Digital doesn't have to lead to sloppy photography. That's just a matter of 
self discipline. But being able to fix a mistake can be a godsend. Having a 
digital workplace also enables one to do things that couldn't easily be 
accomplished other wise. For Example, I can place white cards on the ground 
when  shooting a car to make the chrome bumpers shine and avoid reflecting 
pavement. In post, it's a simple matter to clone pavement in over the cards. I 
can shoot in parking lots with lines and cracks, because I know I can clone 
them out later. When I was shooting film, I frequently had to search for days 
to find good pavement. Ditto in the studio. Where the frame area was once 
restricted territory, I can now add a light or reflector in frame if I need it. 
Digital tools are wonderful. When I shoot digital, I think 120 medium format. 
In other words, every frame is valuable, and if I'm not careful I'll run out of 
film before I get what I want. Think like a filmshooter, but take advantage 
of the digital tools.
