What's a darkroom?(posted 8821 days ago)Seriously: for colour work I certainly do not envisage using my own darkroom. But I do envisage using somebody else's:
I still use film and get it developed in a pro lab. For "creative" techniques, I either let them do it (simple burning, hand printing, etc -- they are quote good) or
I get a high quality scan made, manipulate it digitally and get the lab to print it in high quality on photographic paper.
I do not have my own scanner, and I do not use my own printer for critical work (great for letterheads and to show crop or general colour, but not for paid work).
I rarely do black and white but there I see a need for the darkroom.
Your milage may vary.
