Digital BW, The Print

Hi Diane 

I am only using the capture and output sharpening.  I find the capture
sharpening is great with film but awful with digital.  It makes a mess of
skin for example.  Plus I find the 1Ds MKII requires a reasonably high
amount of sharpening.  Whenever I have tried the masks I get weird results
when trying to brush out just one of the layers.  At any rate I am willing
to listen to ideas from people using Photokit but also those with the same
camera.
