The single biggest difference between the look of film and digital in my opinion is the difference in luminance transfer curves. So I put the differences you note down to post processing, no image has to be bright it's all dependent on haw the black and white points are set and then what transfer curve is applied. Digital imaging systems tend to be more similar in transfer response (that's the way the engineers design them) than various types of film so I expect that that's why there seems to be a sameness about digital images from the masses. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
