As soon as you scan a film or photograph using a digital camera, the next step is Photoshop before printing. Once in Photoshop, well, the urge is there and 99% of the time, the print you are printing has been modified to where it is not representative of the original scene. I'm not saying that you, Tina or Ted, do this, but it is, I believe, the general practice among a great many of the digital photography folks. In the darkroom, I do a lot of burning, dodging, contrast mask making, bleaching, etc., but I don't remove trees or power poles, move things around, change color completely, etc. I have had a transparency that was damaged, scanned, the damage repaired in Photoshop and then printed from the fixed digital file. But no manipulation was done other than remove the blotches that were caused by dirt that was imbedded in the emulsion. I didn't process this transparency! All of my very large prints are drum scan - LightJet print, but with zero manipulation. Nada. Between the scan and the print.
