The key difference is that more photographers are willing to let someone else take over after the shot is taken with film than with digital. I understand the rationale for amateurs, but personally, I have seen too many professional photographers spend too much of time Photoshopping, inkjet printing, etc. I hope they charge their clients for the post-processing time. Otherwise, it is a sure way to make sure your annual income does not rise much above $30K. - - Phong > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Eric Welch > Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 9:47 AM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] Panasonic DMC-FZ10 with Vario-Elmarit lens > > > Ruben, > > And how does sending your work to a lab any more "photographer-like" > than doing it in a darkroom or in Photoshop? > > I guess it all has to do with where the creativity in the job is, > right?
