Well yes, it's not for purists. And I'm not using that word in a derogatory way. But for those of us that have never developed film and have a foot in the digital camp as well, it's a useful tool. I can say that because I mainly shoot black and white film anyway. 😄
I thought thats what I said. I was just trying to explan the way we "Old Men" used to do. And how you could not change just one colour with out affecting the whole image. But thank you for your comment.
I don't do wet printing so the negs get scanned. I never mess with saturation, either by single colour or all colours as that would affect the character of the film, however I may adjust the exposure and contrast. I like to see accurate representation too, so I agree with you.
I'm stuck in a rut really. I live in a small flat and have no room to set up a proper Darkroom. So have to resort to developing film in the kitchen and digitising them with my dslr. Not ideal. But it works. Then of course it's a computer job. But I try to keep them as near to original as I can. As I do with my digital photos. Hate spending hours on one photo, only to make it worse than it was in the first place. Hope you're keeping well.
HI Robert doing good here thanks. Hope you are OK. I think we must have the same type of setup to be honest. Just developing films in the kitchen and a DSLR scan as well. Thanks Jason
I understand that you prefer the original way and I appreciate the competence of doing it like that. It´s been a long time i made my own color prints with an enlarger and I didn´t have much experience anyways, but I get what you are talking about. Also, I work in a photographic archive and I am aware that there still has to be a place for analog prints, or wet prints today, because the craft of photography historically is analog. Though I don´t see the point of gate-keeping the term film photography, because the film is at the center of the process either way and a print or a scan is always only another version of the image on it.
Most of my edits take less than 30 seconds as I only adjust exposure and level where necessary. I never sharpen or adjust colours. My editing is really just to correct my mistakes. I think the worst offenders are the "Professional" landscape youtubers who shoot digital and resort to focus stacking and exposure blending, but I suppose if you are producing images that people like viewing it's all good. You can't edit out bad composition though. Keith

Great Comment 😂
Meanings evolve over time. Just because that was the definition 40 years ago does not mean it is the definition now.

Thanks for your comment glad you like my idea and you are doing what I would do.

ps. I forgot I had already commented here. It must be my age 🥴
Thanks for your comment and great to hear you are much like me when it comes to editing.
I agree with you on many of our focus stacking kin 😂
