Digital BW, The Print

Observation, not criticism.

Who thought this was going to turn out like this? What is going to  
happen if we all get in the same room? I think we need to check the  
attitudes and realize that there are all levels of printers (people)  
in this group and we will do the best job we can by what is given to  
us. This is after all what we do everyday, ....if it's a bad scan  
supplied, bad digital capture, etc. that is out of our control.

Let's keep it fun.
