Digital BW, The Print

I've taken a look at lightroom, and as a concept i like it a lot...i find that it is a lot more user friendly/intuitive for photographers than photoshop... beta 2 is a lot faster than beta 1. I'm sure they are getting a lot of requests for features, I just hope they don't end up re-creating photoshop - and keep a focus on some key features: including of-course the printing features (ICC profiles etc.).  Since most of my photography is on film and scanned --- i have not looked into the conversion features too much... but conversion that is at par, or exceeds the quality that can be gotten through existing software/photo-shop plugins would be reallly very nice...
