The one thing digital definitely DOES give you is all the traditional
controls - dodge, burn, etc., and then some...the question is the

Hi Mike, Johnny,
This sounds impressive. I'll guess the reason you're keeping the
'wet' darkroom is all the traditional controls, like dodge and burn. The
'digital' darkroom has it's own, but they're different.
