That's just the thing. With the right techniques (split grade, F-STOP
timer...) even I can turn out an OK print relatively easily, but then the
artistry of dodging and burning, and lets not talk about contrast masking
or various flavors (local contrast, global contrast), unsharp mask... it's
enough to drive people to drink!!!!

Or scan the ##&^@ film and use photoshop / LR :-)
