Justin et al:(posted 8464 days ago)In any field of technology, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Shoot regularly, then use a lowwer contrast filter in printing, or scan it and use photoshop or other software to cut the contrast.
If it is colour slides you are making, then Fuji's new Frontier print system solves the problem of excessive contrast that only a dye transfer print could handle. Thse too are obsolete.
Again, pre-flashing was used in the "old days" before the photo industry spent m(b)illlions on research just to overcome the need for such techniques.
