Digital BW, The Print

Hi John,

I still use CS2 for editing as I don't find the Qimage editing features up
to par with CS2.  For printing, however, I find Qimage just a lot easier to
use than CS2.  Print sizing and placement, profile selection not to mention
sharpening and interpolation is, for me, much simpler and print
sharpening/interpolation is better .  I use it for both the "conventional"
image and "art" images I'll mount.

I'm not sure what you mean by using Qimage/QTR to avoid post processing CS.
With "Print to File" I can size and sharpen the image, add the QTR profile
and then print through QTR.

I'm looking at Lightroom now and it seems to have a nice print module but I
ran some comparisons and I still think, to my eye, Qimage sharpening can't
be beat.
