I thought you said you know Photoshop - is that ALL you do for a good BW
print? As to output you don't want to softproof, match for different inks
and paper? Because of course in the wet darkroom all we do is turn the
enlarger on and develop the paper. Matching development to neg contrast
range etc etc is a waste of time huh? Matching paper type to developer etc
etc years of tests etc etc Dodging, burning, local contrast masking etc etc
we don't do - no sir!

Buy a printer and start doing some work instead of trying to pick an
argument with people who actually try stuff out.

Jeez - isn't there a list guideline about being tiresome? Someone kick this
guy off. Martin! Martin! I'm drowning under a welter of stupid posts
aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gasp
