Summary
Instead of spending hours in the darkroom (or investing a fortune in equipment), use Photoshop to create traditional effects easily and efficiently. As an added benefit, you will gain control over your images beyond what is possible using traditional techniques. Best of all, every effect is reversible, so you can experiment as much as you like and never ruin an image. From handcolouring to soft focus to toning, you'll be amazed at the ease with which excellent results can be achieved in such a short space of time.
