I guess your students are planning to specialize in the one and only
perfect printing process, what is that?
What do they use for the perfect camera?
I have not found any color material to have the range and flexibility of
processing of many of the single emulsion silver films. So how does one
make a B&W negative from "color neg material" that is superior to
in-camera B&W film?
Further, with the Pt/Pd process I have found a benefit to having grain.
