[Leica] Koyambedu

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Gerry,
I use Lightroom only for basic RAW conversion. All PP tweaks are in
Photoshop, the reason being the advantage of layers. Most (90%) of my
printing is using a RIP, Imageprint 10. The other 10% is using the Epson
driver (I currently use an Epson R3885, the Asian equivalent of a R3880)
from within Photoshop, mainly where profiles are not available in Imageprint

Cheers
Jayanand
