The difference being I find developing & scanning to be non-tedious(although somewhat time consuming, developing in particular I enjoy, it's almost meditation for me), and working in Photoshop to be tedious. And as I shoot a fair bit of E6 or C41 in the camera, developing isn't always an issue. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
