Digital BW, The Print

There is, I believe, a better way to convert RGB to grayscale than with
Channel Mixer. Russell Brown has a nice pdf tutorial and video on his
web site.

I would go with PW Pro. I have Photoshop and use it some. But PWP is 
much more intutive and easier to use. There may be some functionality in

Photoshop not in PWP, but from what I have found you won't need it very 
often if at all. The good news is PWP is fully functional on 16 bit 
data. Not even Photoshop can claim that.

I think the Pro version for I think $89.00 is a better deal the regular 
version. At least that was the conclusing I came to some time back.
