Print processing vs. digital printing: any difference in the final print (black & white photographic paper)?
My instructor demands print processing and I'm finding it difficult. Therefore, I wonder if I take pictures with my digital camera and then print them with an inkjet printer, will she notice?
What if I take the film negative to a photographer and let him/her do the job? Will she notice as well? Thanks in advance.
Note: I'm using black & white photographic paper.
If part of the class is developing your own B&W photos, then I can't help you. It would be obvious that you're not using B&W photo paper in an inkjet printer (and if you do, that type of paper isn't very compatible with inkjet inks).
If the class is on TAKING photos, I'd argue that a digital camera works just as well as an old film camera on composing and taking photos. I might print them off at Walmart/Walgreens, etc as being both cheaper and better quality than DIY at home.
It's quite possible to tell the difference between digital and film photos, at least with the aid of a magnifying glass. Film prints don't pixelate.
