> I use color negative film, exclusively now, for all of my work.

I am wondering if this may be the way to go for a project I am just
starting. Over the next two years I will be taking photographs to be
included in a book I am writing on dog breeds. 99% of the photos in the book
will be in full colour.

My question is this. Since all the shots will be scanned, cleaned up and
then placed in the book layout electronically, should I use colour neg. film
exclusively?

Untill now I have been using 100 iso chrome film when the light permits and
400 iso colour neg film for lower light situations since I have yet to find
a 400 iso chrome film that I like.

Since most of my shots are of dogs out in woods or fields or water lighting
tends to be tricky. I would love the extra bit of latitude that the colour
neg film offers but wonder if the printing industry still prefers colour
reversal films.

Any feedback appreciated.
