I remember when Patrick Lichfield went digital, several years ago now, he said he saved £75,000 (that's GB pounds) a year on film and processing. Economics like that can't be ignored, whatever your daily rate.

It isn't economics. Guys who shoot for 15K a day can print any way they choose. Even the fine art photogs are printing inkjet. Control is part of it, but the quality is there as well.

You have this idea that digital printing is somehow superior to tradition
custom printing.
At some point, it may end up that way, because the people doing custom work
are being forced to adapt to digital.
The pro boys like digital because because they can sit in front of a
computer and pretend to be talented, and because it is cheaper for them to
churn out inkjet prints, rather than pay for quality printing.


Paul, it's about economics, not quality.
