The processes are different, the film photographers
use their own mind, the software alghorithms are
thoughts from others and BTW burning the silver grains
I have a reliable physical support for my image that I
can use independent regarding software and hardware
upgrades and protected from file format changes and
BTW I can use that physical support as digital image
too when I wish to do it.
But you are putting me in a position where I don't
wish to be, I don't reject the digital image as useful
means for a lot of tasks, I only see the fact that
film still keeps some advantages on the digital image
and this is the reason it is well alive despite the
called digital revolution.-
All the best
Carlos
