Digital BW, The Print

I've been using PK Sharpener (new 16 bit version) with Photoshop CS for  
my digital images (from a 6 mp Canon 10D) and it works just fine.  The  
only problem with using it for B&W scanned images (particularly high  
resolution scans) is that you must convert the files to RGB mode to use  
PK Sharpener and that move, together with the layers that are employed  
during the sharpening process quickly leads to an extremely large file  
size.  This might not be a serious problem if you have a lot of  
computer horsepower or your initial file size isn't too big (probably  
true for 35mm), but now that I'm going to be working with the 4x5  
format it is an issue dealing with files that can approach 1 gb in size  
with the PK Sharpener workflow.  Aside from this limitation, the  
quality of the process is very good with logical and flexible controls.
