Digital BW, The Print

Stephen, thanks.

I'm slowly wending my through Qimage..it's been a tough go because it 
is obviously a committee design (see the Qimage Forum!), it serves
zillions of specific purposes but its front end is initially
intimidating. 

I use Qimage increasingly, but I've still not figured out how to use
QTR with it for B&W. Got any tips?  I suspect it'll be the perfect
solution if I can get past the initial learning curve. I LOVE its
Lancozs interpolation feature for big prints from 35mm.
