What makes you think I don't know Photoshop?  I
probably know Photoshop better than most people here.
Remember, I write image processing software for a living,
and I'm a former printer driver writer.

But when it comes to black and white desktop printing I'm
not interested in having an "experience" or enjoying the
"process".  Maybe you like to tinker with you car, too,
changing the suspension, valve timing, ignition
system, and gear ratios, or boring out your cylinders
to increase engine displacement.  I used to do that.
But now I just want a Toyota Camry that starts and runs
reliably for 130,000 miles with nothing but routine, by-the-book,
maintenance
