As the site itself makes clear, today there are not many practical uses for photographs unless they are in digital form. The image is captured on film, but then it is scanned. The utility of their technology depends on the resolution of the scanned image. It would be difficult, for example, to expose 10x20-foot sheets of photographic paper with an enlarger and then develop them.
