True, but one can come extremely close to a film look if one strives to
do so. I can run the range of tonal variations by tweaking the
conversion in PS. Where I end up is what I find most pleasing to the
eye. I don't consider the question of whether or not it looks like
film.

Paul,
On the second thought (is there such an expression?), I keep thinking
about Shel's comment on my b/w conversions... They look invariably
digital. It seems the same case here... I don't mean that as a
critique, just an observation.
It occurs to me now that it has to do with the differences in film and
digital response curves... Digital is very rigid, probably quite
linear and very different from film. It is not bad or good, just
different.
For most folks here it could be rather trivial thing to conclude. For
me it is a bit of revelation ;-).
