Digital BW, The Print

agreed. It does sound harsh as it implies that sunday shooters and scrapbookers are incapable of detecting a 5-10% fade, which they are not. But a 35% fade I find equally and universally insulting because art and photographs in that general condition of fade are worthy of a garbage bin rather than "easily noticeable fade". I hate that I made that kind of remark. Some of the best and most imaginative work I have seen lately has been coming from shooters who do not consider themselves Pros...  I apologize to all those I may have offended by that remark.
