...Arm's length, Dan, is the key. If one attempts to compare silver and
digital prints using a loupe, or even held up closer than normal viewing
distance, there is no question the digital prints will appear "digital" in
comparison to the "silver." But held at a normal viewing distance...even the
eye to lap distance at which we normally look at photographic books, to say
nothing of eye to wall distance, and good digital prints hold up quite
nicely when compared to their traditional cousins.
