[Digital BW] Re: highest quality/permanence

you are right on retouching,

but digital printing is not quick---to do file prep right takes a lot of work.  Then of course 
you "just push the button", a long time later.  Not sure that I save time with digital printing, 
except of course for later reprints.  Still do test prints, etc.  Quality is much better than what I 
got after years of expertise developed in the darkroom though.
