I will qualify my answer by saying we are NOT professional 
photographers / photoprinters.....just engineers trying to make our 
designs look as good as possible.  That said - the match between the 
images in Photoshop (Windows version) and what is printed on an Epson 
2200 is extremely close....definately "close enough for government 
work ".  If nothing else, the Photokit plugins give you a great 
starting point for further tweaking.  As I mentioned, $50 and a quick 
download and you have a whole series of tools to play with - and in 
my totally unqualified opinion, the folks who came up with these 
filters ARE photographers - they know the results they want.

normal qualifers here - we are not associated in any way with 
Pixelgenius - just very satisfied customers !
