Re: Best Book on B&W with Photoshop

IF the photog has seen something significant in the world, and IF he
has  previsualized a print, the "screen image" might actually be a
distraction.

I don't want to be distracted by a technology's intermediary vision of
my image. I want to see an image and produce a print with minimal
preoccupation with digital technology, just as I did with fine
darkroom work.

QTRgui is better than most users really understand...it makes fine
image production easy, it almost eliminates the distraction inherent
in technical obsession. 

QTRgui doesn't "allow the resulting print to resemble"...it's a print
engine, not a visualization device.
