Digital BW, The Print

Yes, that's pretty much the current workflow; but it leaves in  
question the localized corrections that could be done, in a way, in

Currently I'm of the school that does all localized corrections in  
Photoshop, instead of saving up all those keystrokes and masks to be  
applied to the Raw file when it's later rendered out...
