I read that Adams took his famous "Moonrise" shot as a VERY quick snapshot...hopping out of the car and resting his big camera on the roof with barely time to get one shot. Then, it took him several hours everytime he tried the print the lousy B&W negative (which he kept in a safe!)....it tested his darkroom skills to the limit. So, I'd bet he'd at least have played with digital software just to see 'if' it could help.
