| | Digital cameras vs. film, part 1 |
 | | With a digital camera, the steps are (1) digital capture, involving filtered sensors, (2) Bayer interpolation (except for Foveon), which doesn't affect color quality, (3) Image editing (no generation loss either, but lots of potential gains), and (4) Printing using pigments or dyes. |
 | | With film the steps are (1) Exposure, using layered film, where dye-couplers determine the sensitivity of the layers, and (2) development, where the dye couplers determine the color (light absorption) of each layer. |
 | | The MTF of CCD digital sensors is affected by diffusion or "blooming" between pixels. |
