Digital BW, The Print

PS Elements costs just $10 more than Picture Window Pro (same price if
downloaded rather than on disk).  I am not familiar with that product but
would be very surprised to learn that it had greater capability that PS
Elements 3.  At any rate, $90-$100 is not a big ask for the capability that
is delivered.  That plus a reasonable computer (likely a shared cost) and
printer (again, potentially a shared cost) and people are well on their way.
How much does it cost to set up a traditional darkroom?

PS: By shared cost I mean that they provide other services/uses and so not
all the cost should be attributed to the photography.
