Right on Dan!
I've been telling my students for a long time that THE film to use is color
neg material.
One can achieve a lovely color print.
Convert the neg to a positive and hold slide shows after a nice dinner.
AND make darned good b/w prints.
In other words, it is the perfect film.
No grain as you color people know the silver is removed 100%
Never thought of using it for your digital work though Dan. Brilliant.
