Convenience-Print photography can also be done at home and is a quick job that does not require the need to step out of the house Print photography costs less than getting it printed digitally   Good technical work with computers is not needed The camera used for print photography is much cheaper compared to that of digital photography Panlure paper can be used in application as paper negatives in large format cameras Has better quality compared to that of digital photograph

When the photo eventually is developed, the photographer tend to stare at their mistake because it takes a while for the photo to be chemically sanitized There are many step to chemically sanitizing the image/photo especially when it comes to black-and-white printing The photos must be handled and developed in near-dark areas Panlure paper is not suitable for black-and-white printing KODAK no longer sells the products and demand is low for panlure paper

Positives

Negatives

·         Does not require chemicals to be used to develop the film ·         The photographer can see if there needs to be an immediate retake of the picture ·         Image is captured and focused by lens rather than by exposure to photographic film ·         Digital photographs can be printed, displayed, stored, manipulated, archived, and transmitted using computer techniques without chemical  processing ·         Created by non-photographic equipment ·          Digital images can be made by scanning conventional photographic images

·         Computer equipment is not always the best and pictures can be lost if computer fails to work ·         When working with a bigger canvas than the original photo, pixels may be lost and the picture may come out more grainy and blurry ·         The equipment and programs needed to develop and download the photos is more expensive ·         Photo quality is not as great compared to the quality of print photography ·         A photographer needs to be tech genius and be well-known with the applications of the computer
