    Film was in a lot of ways so much simpler. You just use physical processes to expose a negative and invert it to develop the positive print. With digital there are so many steps of processing needed to make an image look realistic, and deciding what “looking realistic” means is even sort of subjective.

      I recall reading another great article, and it’s even funnier with phone cameras where something like 70% of the image ends up being completely generated.
