<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 975001, member: 16269&quot;]My frustration comes from the advancement of the technology. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was a professional photographer for over 25 years. In the early days (1960&#039;s to 1990&#039;s) the only instant photography we had was Polaroid and for a period, Kodak) otherwise if you used Kodachrome slide film, you had to send your film in to get processed and it would take a week or two before you saw your results. If you shot black and white or color print film and had a darkroom, you would develop your film which would take a couple of hours, then print the pictures from the film which took another few hours. If you didn&#039;t get the results you wanted or if the image was blurred or beyond correcting, you had to re-shoot and do the whole process all over again.</p><p><br /></p><p>With digital, it takes minutes for the entire process. <i>Minutes! Not hours or days or weeks! Minutes!</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Almost everybody today has or has access to a digital camera or scanner. They have access to free editing software, in fact when you buy your equipment it comes free and is adequate to produce acceptable results. Even if you can&#039;t read, they put icons with pictures on them for the step by step process. My neighbour&#039;s four year old daughter takes family photos and does all the editing herself. Most of it she figured out herself without anyone&#039;s help and her pics are incredible!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not asking for professional quality pics, just the basic picture that is relatively in focus, bright enough to see, and large enough to identify what it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
