I totally concur with Bruce's comments below. I took the course with Jon
Cone about 16 months ago. It is a great start; similar to the analogy of
getting your degree - now the real learning starts. May I also recomment
a equally qualified source of wisdom. George DeWolfe has an excellent
"digital Fine Art print Making" workshop. In addition a book by George
based on his workshop is due out any day!.

Either is a must before you spend any money on a digital darkroom. Your
learning curve will be steeper (i.e. shorter duration) however much
experimentation needed.

Other sources of highly valuable wisdom are the URLs of Paul Roark and
Clayton Jones.


Good luck
