Digital BW, The Print

Austin, Tim,

I think you are both largely correct and I understand your positions. They
sort of combine in the statement:

The camera rarely lies but it seldom tells the truth.

Personally I don't care how little or how much a print has been manipulated
before or after the shutter clicked or in the dark or in the computer. If it
is a good print and I like it, how it got that way is not important. (Unless
I want to know how to do it myself!<G>)

Good printers (as in people who make photographic prints) will probably make
good prints regardless of whether they are in the darkroom or the computer.
The making of a good print is a matter of artistic talent and dedication to
the craft.
