Digital BW, The Print

Agreed but anyone serious about colour photography must at least understand
how to use their systems (and PS') colour settings and how to have a
properly colour managed workflow.  The poor results that occur without this
knowledge are evident on day one.  Of course the general subject continues
to evolve and some of the discussions on the colorsync list make my head
spin.  But the basic setup and concept (without all its intricacies) has to
be understood very quickly by a serious colour photographer looking for
decent results. It also has to be understood by the B&W photographer.
Everything is colour managed until the last printing step where we found
that maintaining a colour managed workflow actually detracted from the
results.  It has always been important to understand the ramifications of
this break in the chain.  Fortunately thanks to inventions such as Roy's
(and ultimately things like more B&W capable colour drivers) there is no
need to break this chain anymore.  (Well actually Roy just reconnected one
of the links - the lightness channel.)
