RE: peeling the apple + "American Photography"
DEAR LIST, I have assumed that Don's proclamation was tongue in cheek. He is much too knowledgeable about alt prints to think that a digital print from a plug in could ever match the unique tonalities, textures, and sensual reality of a PT/PD, gum, van dyke, etc. print. And he is all too aware that each process renders highlights, midtones, and shadows differently...it isn't just a matter of print color even if it DOES almost (an important modifier) match the alt print. I mean, seriously, the example of "Platinum" is green!!! It looks like a photo of Kermit without the frog. Thanks for the great put on, Don! Some people actually fell for it! CHEERS!
