Digital BW, The Print

I think I have finally reached the point where any email from this
group, with Austin's name will go directly in the 'deleted items'
folder. Sorry, Austin, but I have to do it to save my sanity.

	Hi Jerry,

	Whether an image looks "VERY good" or not, has nothing to do
with the image
	containing "better highlights and shadow detail".

	I don't understand what Photoshop as to do with it.  Either the
information
	is there in the image file, or on the film, or not.  I am
specifically
	talking about the number of stops the medium is able to record,
I don't care
	about printing, as that is comparing apples to adverbs.  You can
print
	scanned film digitally the same way you print digital camera
images.  I
	believe printing is an entirely different issue, and I separate
that
	out...though I know you seem to believe film should only be
printed
	chemically, and always choose that workflow for comparison, for
what ever
	reason.
	
	B&W film can record up to 15 stops of image information.
Digital imaging
	sensors can't use compensation development, obviously, and are
subject to
	simply the sensitivity of the sensor, and they are limited to
11/12 stops at
	this point in time.
	
	Regards,
	
	Austin
