"The Freedom and speed of digital"

Oyón made the move to digital for primarily logistical reasons, and was delighted to discover many more advantages of working with Leaf.

“I started my career shooting film, and then scanning and altering the images. I resisted moving to digital for a long time,” Oyón recalls, “especially because a few years ago, no digital solution was really that attractive. Each required buying a new computer and handling loads of cables.”

Finally, however, he realized he had no choice but to take the plunge. “I had to do something about saving the time and money involved in film developing and in the scanning process,” he says. “After all, in the fashion industry, 95% of the images require retouching. And I need the 60 MB images for the posters and large ads I do. Bottom line: working in digital simply gets the final image to the client faster.” That much, Oyón expected.
