Back in the day I might have spent most of a day working out a split filtration print with complicated dodge burn gyrations. Now, the tools allow picking a specific tonality and or region and adjusting that specific bit. With a calibrated system WYSWYG. I can look at an image for a while on screen and think about what I like or don't like. I am fortunate that Holland Photo which is a short walk away has great print skills and their printers synch well with my files. I gave up keeping a printer going as I can buy a lot of prints for what one ink cart costs. Thank you for your kind comments. I truly respect your comments.
