Hello Group.
I to am new here. And I'm glad to see theres alot of folks here since
it's conception. And the good thing is everyone seems to know what
their talking about.

I'm currently waiting on PFP Suite to arrive tomorrow. After reading
the reviews for this product from the Colorvision Website links, that
settled it for me!

I have to confess, I'm at a bigg loss here. I bought my 1st digital
camera 2 years ago (Kodak LS400) pretty simple camera, point & shoot
and thats the extent of my knowledge of this stuff. I'm a real NEWBE.

Well, my boss decides to come into the digital world (in a big way)
and leave his old 35mm cameras in the closet and wants me to print out
his pic's to hand out to friends/family. He's a self professed photo
amature who started taking pic's when he was in Vietam. Now thousands
of negatives later, here I am starting up a Digital Darkroom on the fly.

He just bought a Sony A100 DLSR and a Canon i9900 printer and
PhotoShop SC2 and tomorrow the PFP Suite arrives. I have alot to learn
in a short while. I didn't ask for this, but whatever the boss says...

What I need is a simple workflow to get me started in the right
direction and perhaps learn some good habbits along the way. The
closet artical I could find was from the Colorvision's own website
under Reviews, here is the link to the review so you can get an idea
of what I'm loking for:

This artical is close to what I'm searching for as far as what I'm
trying to achive. For instance, changing the camera's default color
settings to changing settings in PhotoShop to accomadate the best
possible high quality pic's etc..

Alot of the new camera's and photo editing software have so much stuff
jammed into them in order to meet every possible event. Like uploading
 to Websites and web posting and the like. So the default settings on
all this stuff is meant to cover most circumstances.  

All I want to do is to be able to print the best, highiest quality
pictures that I can reguardless of the file sizes! To me when it's all
said and done, it all comes down to quality.

Any idea's. I know I'm asking alot but I thought maybe somebody has
already done what I looking to do.
