Indeed. I climbed those learning curves during the 1970's, and never  
touched colour until digital cameras entered my life three years ago  
and Photoshop made it possible to at least get in the ballpark of  
neutrality.

I still prefer B&W, but I do find it more difficult to print B&W with  
inkjet printers, even with all these super duper new inks. We  
definitely have not found our Ansel Adams for digital printing. I  
doubt that I am the only person who likes the flexibility of digital  
processing, and even many of the final results, but who finds much of  
the print-tweaking technology much less intuitive than darkroom work.
