I am 100% sure he would be neck deep in Digital Capture and Photoshop if he were alive today, considering the sort of manipulations he routinely did in the darkroom. We use tools available to us at any given point of time. The real reason, it seems to me, in this mode of thinking, is that photo tools on the computer are far more democratic and accessible to the average photographer than an old fashioned darkroom, and so the 'exclusivity' factor gets reduced.
