I think it's most likely to be just part of the learning curve involved in getting used to a new medium. When people who have been doing traditional, film color photography for many, many years at a very high level make the switch to digital, it takes them a long time to un-learn the way they've done things in the past and learn new approaches. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
