Digital BW, The Print

Paul, 
Thanks for the quick answers to those questions.  

I suppose for me the only questions left are whether I have the skills needed and time needed to do the "workflows" dance.  

As it is, I have a lack of time for tweaking/experimenting (any more than I do) and generally playing around.  Too many computers, too many printers, too many variables...

I am tempted by the VM because I too would like to have control over the warmth/coolness.  Your VM solution and curves sounds like a great advance.  

However, I am sure I don't have your level of Photoshop skill and pshop experience.  At this time, I am trying to "master" many things.  IF the VM solution is one that requires a lot of print/modify curve/print again/ modify again/print again/ modify... I probably can't use it for my production work.  I need a pretty straightforward streamlined (ok...it would not hurt if it was just plain ole easy) workflow so I can concentrate on the frontend, marketing, shooting, customers, making money etc...the usual stuff. 

I know you have spent many hours on this.  I just don't have many hours to spend on it.  

So, for someone like me...is it VM/Curves  easy enough? Or should I stick to the turnkey Piezo?

I appreciate your opinion and guidance on this.  

Steadman
