lol ... Perhaps. :-)
I think in terms of digital process almost exclusively nowadays. The
expression "colors and tonalities are converted arbitrarily" is
definitely not describing what I do when I'm rendering B&W
photographs from my exposures with the DS. I am rendering the colors
and tonalities very precisely according to what I wanted when I made
the photo and again when I looked at the preview thumbnail to
evaluate it. There's not much that's "arbitrary" about it.
However, I'm not trying to emulate any specific film & developer
combination... :-)
