Yeah, I rather waxed verbose. I may have come on a bit strong in the
rebuttal as well. I did not want the misinterpretation to linger.

My life has been dramatically turned around by the digital darkroom and I
have no wish to contain my enthusiasm. I have not been able to find a place
to live where I could install a fume-room for nearly two decades now.
Without the ability to interpret my own work, photography had become
depressing. I could shoot commercial stuff in a way that the lab could not
screw it up, but was never satisfied with my personal work in the hands of
others. I had pretty much stopped shooting.

I began learning image processing a decade back, first for hybrid film
shooting - digital processing, but never was able to afford a good enough
scanning system. The digital camera was the missing link. With fluency both
at the exposure stage and processing stage, photography has come back to me.
I now experience the joy that first made me become a photographer.

With the image processing skills I have, my photographic quality has
improved immensely over the portfolio prints of a couple of decades back.
With the CP5000, I am going places that I would have never dreamed with
film. I was born for digital photography.
