Rootbeer Brew combines my decades-trained eye (like it or not, it's been a while) with software advances meant to propel digital photography closer to a more exact science like its older brother, Film Photography. Additionally, I've been fancying the move in print magazines to utilize pictures so adjusted in Tone Mapping Operator software that they appear lighter and fresher but pack gobbs of detail. This detail, as on Bret's boots, can be teased out but only truly appreciated at massive sizes and/or resolutions.

The Classics Advance

The simplicity of this image betrays how complex things can get. In the B&W image below, see the "halo" around the black hose against the orange tub? That "halo" is a telltale artifact of Tone Mapping and it's helping to ensure that print media images still have the edge over Web-published images. To see all the detail in Bret's boot and the floor, we would have to print an 8x10 at 300 dpi. Online, a 1000 by 600 pixel image at 72 dpi does the detail absolutely no justice.

Even at 300dpi, digital cannot touch Film Photography since images break down to X and Y pixels rather than color and shapes of silver grain. That's not the point though, understanding where print media separates from online media and how to do it is the point.
