Eric StevensHe was probably quite familiar with what could be done or what he might want to be done in a darkroom. However, with work in the field for Life and Magnum maintaining a travelling darkroom was not practical. So he shipped exposed film to the agencies editorial desks, and had no idea of the results until the editors at Life, advised him of what they intended to use, and Magnum advised him of what they were able to sell.

The idea that a top line architect wouldn't/shouldn't have an understanding of what he can an cannot do with the tools at his disposal.
that's not what i said.
obviously they need to know how to *use* their tools.
what they don't need is how to *make* the tools, i.e., how to program a computer.
Somehow I think you guys have been using the wrong analogies for a photo NG. Forget about the racecar driver & architect, how about the owner of any digital camera, compact, or DSLR? Do they need to have a knowledge of how to operate a computer to shoot photographs with their digital camera?
no they do not, nor did film users need to know how to process their own film.
many people know how to use a computer and some did their own darkroom work, but it is not a requirement to use a camera.
But knowing what can be done in the dark room is an essential part of the skills of a top photographer.
Should Robert Capa, then not have been considered a "top photographer"?
Surely you are not suggesting that after all those years in photography he remained unfamiliar with darkroom work?
