I agree whole-heartedly!!!
I guess I was just suggesting that the whole process is quicker for us now that we have digital technology.
As for whether the masters of yesterday would have embraced digital... who's to say. It's likely a generational thing... like in all art forms, our parents art is often different from our art which will in turn be different from our childrens' art. Although each generation might argue with the other, all forms of expression can be truly artful.
With Ansel Adams, he developed his own techniques constantly for such things as interpreting colours as shade of grey and so on... I believe this is a person who was focused on the outcome of his work more so than the technology that produced it. I would like to think he would have embraced digital technology and created some equally astonishing images!
