My wife just doesn't understand. I can't seeem to convince her
that film is better.
It came to head this weekend when I made a test print from a 4x5
B&W negative and did the same shot from the digital. She liked
the 8x10 from the digital better than the 8x10 from the 4x5
negative.
I will admit, it did turn out quite well. If you know what to
look for you can see the effects of sharpening algorithms and a
hint of noise. I converted the file to a 48bit Tiff and
imported it into Picture Window Pro. Applied a green filter
during the monochrome conversion and wiggled the black, white
and midpoints around to match the film print (I liked the film
print).
The 4x5 (HP5+) is essentially grainless and the tonalities are
"creamy". But I was absolutely amazed that the digital did as
good as it did. 8x10 appears to be maximum size I can get out
of it, though.
I think she wants the darkroom back.
