And what was it when we used glass plates and tin plates? Wait, I know it took light just like it does with digital. So, with film it must be paint with silver not light.

Sorry, never went to Tarleton State other than one Histography graduate course, SMU and University of Dallas graduate and undergraduate.

As for Computer Science programs it's Stanford or Carnegie Mellon but you might want to look into Syracuse's S.I. Newhouse School's Graduate program in photography, don't you think? Might learn something...

Hey, if he didn't stir y'all up, you'd be snoozing in front of the monitor moving those zeros and ones around.

Postscript: Some high tech guy wrote some Photoshop tutorials for View Camera Magazine. You can tell I was interested. In the first article he said that the only thing you can do in Photoshop is make a pixel darker or lighter.

True or false?

technically true.

You change the RGB (aka color) by varying the relative brightness of the separate RGB components.

Film=piddling with chemicals in the dark by yourself behind closed doors...

Old film folks never die. They just smell that way.

I guess the DigiPhos have no sense of humour.

Where is the film section ?
