Sorry Marc, Peter is right. All digital cameras come
with bundled software necessary to process and print
pictures taken with them. Photoshop is unnecessary.
Most cameras and photoprinters even come with a direct
link so you can print direct from the camera to the
printer without a computer at all. I have not used
them myself but I am advised they are very good.
I shot Kodachrome and printed onto Cibachrome (later
Ilfochrome) in my own darkroom for over 20 years.
Going digital has improved the quality of the prints I
make very considerably, though I don't have the latest
model camera or printer. I scan my Rollei negatives on
a Nikon 8000 scanner then print digitally by the way.
I can not comment on B&W, I have done very little
since the 1970s.
