The high priest of the pre-visualization doctrine acted on impulse
just like everyone else. He used to type his letters himself and could
not even plan on a carriage-return before his lines ran off the paper!

The Zone system was designed for sheet film in larger cameras with
less flare. MF and 35mm prints required dodging and burning even when
the Zone system was adapted. And I'm sure AA used these techniques
with success.

Digital requires a different set of tools: histograms and stepwedges
and for the digital camera user, exposure to the right.

Like the man said, "Use it if you got it, but it ain't mandatory"!
