Digital BW, The Print

I used the LR beta version for several months and generally liked the 
way I could get BW images, and I started to get used to the interface.  
But I didn't go with the production version when it became available 
because (1)  I already had a system in place for image management and 
especially for "contact print" production (IMatch) that I didn't want to 
give up for a new database system, (2) I often use some of the PS tools 
(healing brush, paintbrush, clone tool, etc.) that weren't available in 
LR and I didn't want to have to switch out to PS to use them, and (3) I 
had used Convert B&W Pro (a third-party PS plug-in) from my (digital) 
beginning to do B&W conversions and was just more comfortable with its 
film/darkroom-like controls.

If I were starting from scratch I probably would have considered VERY 
seriously going with LR and would have been happy with what I didn't 
know, but with my history it just wasn't worth it.  To me.  YMMV.

Cheers,
Kip
