I've been recommending Photoshop Elements as the logical starting place for B&W printers. In addition to being cheap (often $50 on Ebay), it is simpler and easier to learn. One of the few things Elements lacks is Image Adjustment Curves. However, Elements supports Adjustment Layers, and that supports Curves Adjustment Layers. This allows curves that have been put onto small files as Curves Adjustment Layers to be easily be used in Elements. At http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Curves_Layers.htm I have put a couple of my favorite curves shapes on small files as layers. Anyone can download these files and simply drag the curves to the working file. At http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/PS_Elements.htm I have a Readme file that outlines several ways to overcome the few weaknesses in Elements and make it a practical image editor. Hope this is useful.
