Digital BW, The Print

In the Austin/Jerry interchange on digital vs. film, Jerry said the 
following:

That statement really surprised me.  

I figure that when you're printing out digital snapshot photos 
someone might have a really abbreviated workflow.  

But I always figured that you hotshot photographers labored for hours 
over your prize photos.  Is that not true, Jerry?  
 
I don't even bother printing ordinary pics.  But for the few that I 
think are much better than average, I sometimes spend quite a bit of 
time with them in Photoshop.

Also, Jerry, if you don't spend the minute or two it takes to apply 
unsharp mask in Photoshop with 35mm scans, I'm assuming you don't do 
it with your digital pics, either, which means you're using in-camera 
sharpening.  With the D30 or D60 that also means you're not capturing 
RAW images, doesn't it?  (Since RAW images always bypass in-camera 
sharpening, as far as I'm aware.)

Since I trust Photoshop more than any in-camera after-capture 
processing, I'd much prefer to work with RAW images and do all the 
processing in Photoshop.  Doesn't matter to me that it takes a bit of 
extra time.  For the better images the time is well spent.  -- Herb
