I would say yes. I do know that when I shot print film and went to slides, my photography skills and photos improved a lot and when I went to digital my photography skills improved a lot more as I was able to see my results and keep trying till I got that right photo, so I was more forced to make a photo "right - keeper" than to just shoot and "think" i got it and walk away. Digital has taught me a lot about my photography skills, etc. Several times I have gone back and shot slides, and a few times I am not very confident as I used to be because I rely on the LCD screen when I am unsure of a scene. When I know I shot it right, then I don't even bother with the LCD screen. I see digital as a good learning tool, but can also produce bad habits like the example I just gave. Just my two cents..
