From silver mine to wet plate

Really interesting! I've started photography as Digital, and always wonder what I'm missing out on..there are so many things happening in the making of a single image.
I've wondered too about that. I mean before digital, people could also change the images. There should be decades worth of knowledge about film editing; kind of like analog photoshop.
When your printing you work the opposite way round to taking the photo, if you want part of the photo darken (burning) you add light if you want it lighter you take away light by bending and move your hands over the print or use cards to cause shadows but you must keep moving
