All the rest of the process is done with this digital image, and that's why they consider themselves digital photographers. The part that I found humbling is the size of the file, once the image is digitized. 24 Gigabytes.
Day-um.

I'm newish to owning one, but am pretty familiar with the technology. The film resolution is the equivalent to 1,000+ mp. I'm not as dumb as I look
And yeah I read their whole description of the process and it's pretty much the coolest thing I've ever seen. I really liked the part where they explained the difference between their images and regular images, as compared to looking at an apple tree from various distances, more and more detail as you get closer that you couldn't see from farther away, but not becoming distorted like if you just looked closer at a regular photgraph.
I can't wait until they release some more photos on the website of their across America tour.
