I do get your point , Paul. But I do not do artistic photography. I may do 800 aerial photographs (exposures) in just one hour. In my opinion, noone appriciates all the computerwork enough, to justify the many hours (dollars worth)of editing, needed for finishing the job. It would be very tempting for me just to deliver the (many) film rolls to the lab, look the prints through and then give the client the best 10% for scanning.
