For industrial photos, probably true. I was wondering about for
instance the mainline advertising industry. Think Photo District News.

Not for professionals, but I understand slightly insane amateurs are kludging up large format cameras. They are using scanners in place of the film. So they have a large ( maybe 8.5 inch by 14 inch ) " film ". And can use tilts and such to get exactly what they want as a photo.

ooooh!! Id have never thought of that!! Got any
links/photos/examples? Fascinating idea!!!

a search for "slit scan" and photography will come up with some of these.
Some folks move a slit across film, some just us a scanner mounted on the
back of a camera.
