Yup. Now you got it! Just my opinion, but I think the transition happened
this way by design, as the photographer wants to maintain control over
his/her photos. When the printer did the drum scan, the final result was
as dependent on the printer's scanning technique as the photographer's
talents. That could be good or bad. Now, the photographer has much more
control over the image. It's also why commercial photographers have a
higher day rate for digital than for film.
