There's no way to tell if an image has been manipulated if it's done well 
any more. Just because it's on film mean's nothing because we've been 
putting high resolution digital files back onto sheet film for decades.
Then 
there's the fact that all film becomes a digital file before it's printed 
anyway. If he really felt that way, he should go back to making separation

negatives and printing plates optically rather than scans.
