ABSTRACT

I reckon it is probably fair to say every photographer I know now involved withdigital imaging came from the position of being a onetime digital skeptic. Theconversion has in some cases been dramatic which was no doubt linked to the speed of changes which took place in our industry during the eighties and nineties. One colleague commented that in the early days he used to tease his retouching bureau that you could see the pixel structure of a digital image. ‘When they started working with 200-300 MB images and you saw the grain structure of the film before the pixels – I finally conceded my argument!’
