Here Here, Erwin! Well spoken! Adobe has tried very hard to give 
tools that are similar to those that we learned in the darkroom, and 
some learned press room. I work digitally by choice. Some images 
I know would look better in silver prints. Some, I feel, would also 
look better with a press technique. I hope all here can appreciate a 
fine image that started in the mind, was captured by a camera, 
then placed before a public, large or small.
