I had no idea what an enlarger was.

I recently took a B&W film development and printing class and it was very cool. I wouldn't be inclined to do it again, but it was fun to understand what 'dodging' and 'burning' refers too and get your hands do something.

The icons for the dodge and burn tools in Photoshop are directly cribbed from the tools you'd use in a darkroom, too ;) https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/desktop/repair-retouch/adj...

Analog photography is a wonderful world and is a great rabbit hole to jump into in this day and age IMHO.
