Here is my snide take: Yes, you require a darkness of the soul in order to embrace any aspect of digital printing.

But no, it is just an expression. After the divorce, digital decided to keep the name darkroom since it didn't really have a maiden name to which it could revert.

Let me just climb up on this soap box for a moment:

The comparisons between digital photography and "traditional" or "wet" or "silver" photography are specious at best. The only thing they have in common is using a lens to focus light. One isn't better or worse than the other; they each have their merits.

It reminds me of the 80's "CDs are better than vinyl" crap.

blah blah blah
