An interesting question.... Not all of us have a powerful enough computer,
or a scanner, or the software, or a suitable output facility, or enough
money to pay someone else to do it all for us for every image we would like
to tinker with! This is not a flippant remark, it is meant in all
seriousness. I would love all of the above, but my bank would not.....
I fully accept the practicality, ease and utility of the suggestion, but in
addition to the problems I have just mentioned, perhaps there is something
to
be said for old methods on occasion ("character building"!)
