Digital BW, The Print

On hardware and software I try to stay well back from the bleeding 
edge. Partly by not upgrading until supplementary documentation I'm 
confident will be good is in print. Then I'm an early adopter of that 
supplementary documentation. So, without fear that he might already 
have them, I'll suggest that Charles save a lot of time in late 
summer for "Real World Photoshop 7" and "Real World Color 
Management". And consider diverting himself in the meantime, 
depending on his interests, with "Photshop Restoration and 
Retouching" and "Professional Photoshop 6" (on color correction). 
But, good as Amazon is on pre-sales info, I try to skim in a 
bookstore before actually buying.

The big gap seems to me to be scanning. I don't know of a good, 
up-to-date, in depth reference on it. Nor of one on digital cameras. 
Capture generally seems to me to be poorly documented except in re 
traditional photography.
