Is it your claim that in the film days, a good photo artist did not have to understand the how and why of film. He did not have to understand masking with film, the effect of various chemicals, and light sources on things such as contrast, and grain?
my claim is that in film days, knowing how and being proficient in darkroom work was not required.
some photographers did do their own darkroom work, but as i said, it wasn't required. many pro photographers worked with a pro lab who took care of the details.
And the photographer had no idea of what kind of things the lab could do for them.
And the good ones give precise instructions to the lab. In order to give instructions to the lab, the good photographer must understand what a lab can, and cannot do. If the instructions are not followed, the lab doesn't get paid.
