ABSTRACT
The images are usually very sharp with a long tonal range and the colors are lifelike and true. Whether seen on a monitor or digitally projected there is no dirt on the picture, no scratching and no picture instability such as weave or unsteadiness. Some fans of the photomechanical image miss these aberrations, but with my training having been in the BBC in London they were always artifacts we were trying to eliminate; so, perhaps, this is why I welcome their elimination. If the final product is to be shown from a film print then all the possibilities of print imperfections return, of course and if you like them have a film print and you may be very happy, especially if you have your HD image printed out onto a camera negative film rather than an intermediate stock. Printing out to camera negative stock can give an even greater impression that the images were originated on film.
