I can see where Jackie's coming from, but surely it's
down to the photographer to instigate digital issues on this list not the
client. If the client wants digital files let them have digital files -
whether it's shot digitally or conventionally. Leave it up to the
photographer to decide whats best for their work & workflow.

Dear Jason
Some of us work in a wonderful world where clients don't exist. For my part client's concerns are my concerns too because the only way I can sell them something is to find out what they want. Although estate agents are a bit off my track their concerns and interests have relevance in the greater scheme of things. I can see Jackie loving the idea of fifty different freelance photographers submitting fifty variations of file type, colour space, file size, interpolation method and delivery media.
If you are not already receiving Print Media Management magazine to learn the background of things digital in the workflow of printed material you should at least read this month's edition. It is a free subscription.
There seems to be a general trend on the Prodig group to be rude and disparaging about any view that differs from the evangelical wing of the "Photographers are always right" Party. Who remembers the rudeness and disparaging remarks made about the publishers of Digital Photography magazine? Must be a rip-off so no one on this list buys it, right?
