This was brought up in a podcast I was listening to. The question deals with work flow. I know many here have never shot film so I will explain the meanings behind the question.
When you shoot film you have basically 2 chioces. Slide or negative. (This we covered already) But it is how many photographers handle the 2 that is so different. With negative you developed the film and left it whole or possable cut it up. But what you did NOT do, is cut out frames you really like and throw the rest away. This is mainly because of how the negative carrires work in enlargers so we kept almost all of the frames.
With slide you developed and laid the film out on the light table and you DID cut out the good ones to mount. The rest goes in the trash. And because there is nothing you can do with a bad slide we were rather ruthless in the selection.
So my question is do you now that most of what we do is digital... Are you still ruthless in your selections or do you keep everything?
