Keith,

The ORIGINAL comment was that PS (or any manipulation program) HAD to be
used, and it does not.  The firmware does not do the same manipulations that
a user can do in PS.  All the firmware MAY do is apply a LUT (Loot Up Table)
to the data to simply match the calibration between the camera and the
printer.  That is NOT image manipulation of the sense that has been being
discussed.
