Digital BW, The Print

All I've got to say is wow!
I'm only a few prints into this inkset and they are fantastic. Deep 
blacks and brilliant highlights.

I still don't have my head completely around the whole workflow thing 
yet but I'm slowly getting there. I'm still at Photoshop 101 trying 
to understand curves, profiles and color management but even without 
all that knowledge I am doing some great stuff. I'm halfway thru 
Leslie Alsheimer's "Black and White in Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom" 
Great book by the way!

I'm using some unknown glossy roll paper that I've had for years(I 
think it's a quick dry micro porous ceramic maybe?)and the results 
are incredibly sharp with deep blacks and brilliant whites. I got 
this stuff from a salvage dealer for $5 per roll (24" wide). There's 
no label on the boxes so I don't know who made it. So far it's doing 
a great job for me in color and B&W.

I've done a couple mattes but they aren't so great yet because I 
don't have a good paper.

I look forward to learning more from Paul and the other gurus on this 
group!

Thanks,
Tony

For use with Photoshop or Lightroom, Tony?

Yeah, the book is a good intro to LR and PS workflows. The first half 
is for LR.
