Digital BW, The Print

I have not read every single Lightroom discussion because I stopped using LR in the 2.0 edition. But I thought I should mention that I use Aperture for all of my DAM and image manipulation needs. Coupled with the complete collection of Nik plugins, I rarely use Photoshop anymore. I don't want to get into an endless Lightroom vs. Aperture argument, I just wanted to mention that my workflow has treated me well for my small catalog of approximately 25,000+ images, books, smart albums, et al.
