If negative film can record a far greater range of contrast than reversal
film, then why don't those computer types use negative film then scan the 
negatives, as if they were positives, then let Photoshop, or a comperable 
program mathamatically reverse them, thus keeping all the contrast?

PS:  Loreo vs Realist:

I strongly feel that it is a well known fact that most people believe that
oranges are better than apples and that a pair of pliers are better than a
crescent wrench (spanners?)!
