I'm just interested to know how you control contrast on a single pixel ;-)

Dante,
I will mention the pluses of a digital workflow for me.
1) complete repeatability once a print is satisfactory
2)local contrast/density/sharpness easily controlled down to the pixel level
3)easy global contrast control  at whatever point in the curve you want to
change contrast without unsharp masks, pencils, split developers etc.
4)spotting time drastically reduced 5)working in the light interacting with
the family 6)no chemical fumes/strange chemical failures 7)potentially
longer life of prints 8)by making a digital negative I can still make a
silver print if called for 9)if color materials used initially can imitate
filters after exposure
