Digital BW, The Print

Thanks to information from Steve Y. (are you a member?) it looks like there
is a way for Photoshop Elements to use the Photoshop Image Adjustment curves
and control the inksets I've been involved with.

 

The basics are that Photoshop Elements supports layers.  I can make a very
small .PSD file that has one layer containing an adjustment curve.  In
Photoshop Elements this small file can be opened along with the real working
file.  When it's time to print the working file can be converted to RGB, the
layer from the small file can be dragged from the Layers palette to the
working file, and the result is that the working RGB file then has the
original inkset control curve applied to it.

 

I downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements 2 and the system appears
to work fine.  Of course I'll have to make a bunch of little files, but that
is not too hard.  I assume MIS will post them.

 

If there are people with Photoshop Elements who want to try this, let me
know what curves you'd like converted to .PSD layers.
