Whether digital or analogue, it can take a great deal of work to make a print from a negative. Ansel Adams work was largely made in the darkroom process, manipulating the image heavily - and he was fantastic at it.

True, but all we have left of this particular artist is the negatives; manipulating them is changing it from their art to the art of the person doing the manipulation.

Not a bad thing in and of itself, but it represents a loss, in my opinion.
