Zone System diverged into intuitive/visual and quantitative/geek back in the day...some people were techie, others more visual...different strokes. Obviously the same divide occurs with inkjet printing (and scanning and post processing)...they can be done very well technically by using one's eyes or by using measurements. I know this is controversial: the techie side generally dominates discussions, just as there are more engineers in this world than there are poets (and we do need both). Are there visually-oriented (not quantitatively oriented) sites, books, gurus, Forums that occupy themselves with the combination of FILM, scanning, and inkjet printing? I'm stressing *FILM* because so many of us know it intimately, are well equipped for it, and aren't yet seeing consistently comparable results from the best digital photographers. I'm NOT looking for basic Zone System...not White/Adams/Picker et al: their concepts do relate but don't apply as intuitively and simply to Vuescan, Silverfast, Epson or Nikon or Minolta scanner apps. Links? Books? People? Ideas? Djon
