The first comment is: The same could be said about film and the wet darkroom. The second is: Having shot 99% slides before going 100% digital, my workflow has changed considerably. In shooting slides with very little "fix it in the processing" leeway, I had to nail exposures in the field. Now, shooting digital, exposure is not as critical (as long as I don't blow out highlights) because I can "fix it in photoshop" Finally, I still try my best to get the right exposure, composition, and focus in the camera to make my post processing easier and faster. -- Christian [EMAIL PROTECTED]
