No one is doing E6 in C41 anymore, and c41 in E6 wasn't used much. Some are
shooting Scala for B&W , but largely it's neg/fibre paper prints.

Yes catalogues can be done on transparency, although many are digital for
the 'pure repro' shots. The big three here are mostly digital, and the
biggest in Germany are as well. I did say creative, and that is
overwhelmingly shot on negative. Most of the time it's processed and
retouched then output to transparency or a tiff separation is given for page
layout and image setting. Some photo labs scan color negs with good results.
Often I forget that not all photography needs to reach an aesthetic goal but
merely inform it's audience.

I'm in fashion photography if you will, but not in my definition "a fashion
photographer". I think you are very aware of your market, and that is every
bit as viable, valuable where you are. Certainly the exceptions to the
rules are no less than trends, which in fact do rule in their own eccentric
circles, i.e.; NY, London , Paris, Milano. What makes the Colorsync list
great is the diversity of it's members and how they respectively apply
colorimetry through Colorsync technologies.
Well back to retouching!
