Digital BW, The Print

Clayton, Thanks for the feedback.  I'll just work on it this weekend 
now that I've managed to put myself under the gun for completing 
prints for a juried art show.

However, if I understand the gist of a number of the articles, then 
one either works on the Epson driver or use/create a profile in 
Photoshop but not both.  Otherwise the world as we know it printwise 
will collapse.  In other words my prints will look like heck.

I guess the other thing is that the workflow you outline for using 
CS2 doesn't seem to completely apply in CS, which we have. (Didn't 
feel the need to pay Adobe another $149-$199.  Do you or have you an 
outline that would address making changes to PS CS vs CS2?

Thanks, Mike
