I agree and disagree. If someone isn't familiar with curves, certainly
they won't be able to competently custom-fit a negative to their
process and printing style. But curves can only get you so far when
working against the incapacity of a printer to print well on the
transparency material. In my opinion, all things equal (persons
competent at photoshop and at printing in their process) the printer can
still constitute a major limiting factor in the creation of fine
negatives. Any printer will make a rough negative, but I'm talking about
a much finer process.
