Digital BW, The Print

Diane, you're too gentle...  digital tech encourages us to think
everything is done for us automatically, plug-and-play...allows us to 
get lazy and assume we don't need to acquire and apply fundamental
non-digital photo skills.

Contrast/brightness is beautifully adjustable visually in Photoshop
and Elements and, partially, in the Gamma setting of QTRgui.  

Example: The little switch between Epson OEM Photo Black and Matte
Black makes a big difference in some images and on some papers, even
though both may be "acceptable", considering the workarounds some
people do without QTR or Black Only to get B&W. Important, visual, not
at all digital. People without traditional photo backgrounds probably
don't even notice.
