Digital Photography Takes Off

But another option does exist. A digital photographic process would eliminate at least five of the six steps mentioned above, as well as the cost of the Polaroid film, the lab processing fees and all costs incurred when shots need to be redone or fixed. Through the digital method, the composition and lighting are previewed on a color-calibrated monitor, the images are shot and downloaded directly as files, ready to be processed electronically. If a shot is substandard, the photographer knows within minutes, not days.
