I didn't see that the lavendar of my towel used as a background in my Christmas card (sixth card top row, http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/cgi-bin/greetings2004/) had turned blue until I pulled it up at the computer. (Autowhite function gots fooled.and in bright light and with the little LCD screen on the camera it wasn't noticeable). As to film being forced into the computer interface, this is true as film holds a wider gamut of color than monitors display (including TV's) and commonly available inkjet printers can print out (best printer approximately match Adobe98 color space in gamut). So color is being lost but this only matters to some artists and people seeking the best color possible. In commercial production speed is usually everything so in that situation digital/video rules. Even with slide film I do most of my printing now myself. Roy
