I want all to know that I'm not down on this technological transition. I've embraced it fully. It's just that "a good while ago" I had a system which worked quite well both aesthetically and economically. And for me, and my business, the computerization of graphic design and photography has caused economic chaos and a down turn in profitability. I've watched top notch photo retouchers (air brush and transparency) go out of business. The highly skilled professions of typesetting and film stripping have disappeared. And, the once highly paid, professional photography has become a nickel and dime commodity. Not true in all cases. But these professions have taken a serious hit. My mileage does vary from Tina's. I was never a 300 roll a month photographer.
