In *fact* Ansel left all of his "really good" negatives with some
famous school of photography (whose name escapes me now).  And he
said on many occasions that in the future there would be all kinds
of stuff such as laser scanning of negatives and computer touch-ups
and so on, and that he expected that in the future someone would be
able to make better prints of his negatives than he could do.

And the only condition for his leaving the negatives with this school
was that they actually be USED by the higher level students to
experiment with and not just be locked up in some vault.
