There may be a language difficulty here as I do not think that you have
understood the relationships.
Each of these processes has a maximum density range that does not change.
It is a constant.
This is chemical and physical constant independent of how one makes one's
negatives, Photoshop or what is done in the printing industry.
Of course, if one has any sense, one makes one's negatives, whether digital
or otherwise, to suit what each processes will accept..
As a rider to the above, this does not mean that one has to expose a
different negative for every process. Different scenes call for different processes.
while negatives can be adapted to suit different processes.
