settings and have to catch myself from being its slave. Film was such an involved process, especially in the waiting for color film negatives to get back from lab, or slides or prints to get back from lab. And B&W was much more labor-intensive - and I did my own. Shoot film, load into developing canisters and develop negs, rinse and dry film, make contact sheets, pick negs to print, close off darkroom again for prints, do test strips, do prints, let prints dry.

Then proof with client, process client selections, then deliver client choices and finally send out a bill.

I can send a client 50-100 fully-edited 35MB images within 24 hours of finishing a shoot, along with the invoice. It would have taken weeks for that in the film era. Nope, not much to miss.
