No software can emulate a lens and body that can tilt in any direction

almost all, but for the ones that it can't, there are tilt/shift lenses
and/or bellows. however, they're rarely, if ever needed.

there are *other* options available to replace the outdated primitive
methods and equipment.

And
then that chap is using a huge negative; there are no sensors that big
at same pixels per centimetre, the digital resolution would be
humongous. Technical cameras, I didn't remember the name, English is
not my first language.


there doesn't need to be a single sensor that big.

your mistake is assuming it has to be an exact duplicate. it doesn't.

here's a 20 *gigapixel* panorama, with a resolution of 203200 x 101600
pixels, roughly one *thousand* times as many pixels as a typical camera
today.

there is *so* much detail in this photo that you can see into some
windows and read the ads on the sides of city busses. one of the
commenters found naked sunbathers.

The largest photo ever made of NYC. 360º New York City gigapixel. If
you printed this image at a standard photo resolution of 300DPI, it
would be 18 meters or 57 feet wide, and 9 meters / 28 feet tall.
That's a big photo! For more information about this panorama, please
contact us.

an 8x10 view camera is a toy in comparison.

the reality is that what he's doing with his primitive 8x10 camera and
cibachrome can be done much, much better with digital.

or, it can be downgraded to match the 'look' of cibachrome, which is
not very accurate. cibachrome is very saturated, which can easily be
done in software.
