Roman,
I do not see this as an appropriate answer; actually I think it begs the
question, except if one assumes that priority is to be given to the
traditional methods of printing as you seem to want to do. I do not
criticize you for assigning priority as you have (it is legitimate).
However, others on this list and elsewhere (I am not necessarily among them)
think that the priorities are or should be changing with the priority being
placed on developing a film dedicated to scanning and not traditional
printing methods. This places the emphasis on changing the film emulsions
and properties to fit the demands of scanners and CCD sensors rather than
photographic paper emulsions and color filter packs. Thus they are calling
for such things as the elimination of orange masks and the like.
That, practically speaking, this will not happen in the sense of film
manufacturers introducing films dedicated exclusively to scanning in the
immediate future is something that a previous post indicates we agree on.
We also agree on the reasons why this will not happen soon given the nature
of the existing market make-up. However, this is not to deny that those who
are into scanning of films rather than projection printing of films have a
legitimate right to desire and want films that are more suited and even
dedicated to scanning as well as to complain about the fact that this is not
happening.
