I'm (finally) signed up for a class in processing/printing (wet version) that meets in two weeks. I want to learn how to do it the "old" way first (besides, I'll need to learn how to process the negatives regardless), but feel more inclined to print digital--as I already have a PC and some familiarity with Photoshop, and have no room for a darkroom in my small flat. It's encouraging to know that I can get as good--if not better-results going the digital route.
