In some ways it's easier to get a good hi-res scan of a tranny rather than a
colour neg - so the much better option these days (actually either tranny or
neg) is scan and lightjet print.

Photoshop offers the person working in colour much more precise control over
adjustments than the traditional colour processes. And lots of old
ilfochrome (and even dye transfer) fans are finding they much prefer the
control it offers and the results they get.
