<p>I feel if B&W is really needed go with the 2880, as it offer gray ink in it's pallet; but if you want color and just a few B&W once and a while than the R1900 should be considered. </p>

<p>I have the Epson R1900 and am very satified with the quality of the prints. Tom</p>

<p>I stand corrected. I have pictures on the Brooklyn Bridge, from September 2008 and I don't recall see the signs.</p>

<p>I think the rule "more is better" applys. It doesn't hurt to have extra memory, when it comes working in PS. Tom</p>

<p>PE 7 is good for most everything the amateur photographer needs. It's new Camera Raw 4, panorama and new editing such as groups, etc are just great, in fact it has many of the features in Lightroom, just not the level sophistication. </p>

<p>Avi: I have some of the same filter etc in my basement. They go back to the 1930'3 and 40's. The one I have fit a Zeiss Ikon pack camera that my farther-in-law owned. Tom </p>

<p>In my first digital camer a Olympus 4040 had both optical and digital zoon. Th eoptical zoon was great, but the digital left much to be desired. I switched to a DSLR and I would look back to anything with digital zoom. Tom</p>

<p>Brownie and I still have it. Tom</p>

<p>If you are only printing color consider the R1900. Tom</p>

<p>John: I also have a R1900, I found that at first I had the left hand paper guide to tight; with about a 1/16 inch it's never misfeed and I 'v had the printer since last September. Are you sure where isn't something in the paper path? Hope this helps. Tom</p>

<p>Lauren: Thank you for the suggestion, but it appears that I have things set up as you suggest. I did download new ICC profiles, but can test until I get a new ink cartridge, ran out of cyan. Once again thanks for the suggestion. Tom</p>

<p>I just switched to Photoshop Elements 7 from PE5 and colors are messed up. Images have a very red cast, tryed both management for photoshop, with printer managment turn-off and printer management using ICC profile for the paper. Same output red cast. Any ideas. Never had this problem with PE5. Thank you Tom</p>

<p>Patrick has a good point if cost is the issue, but I believe that the image quality for the R1900 is better than the 1400. Remember beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so take a look at both. I beleive that Epson has sample images that they will mail to you for evaluation. </p>

<p>I use an external drive for backup and store all my images on my computer hard drive. I have two external drives both a USB 250GB and 1TB. I back up my images on the 250GB and back up my entire hard drive to the 1TB. Tom</p>

<p>Take a look at the Epson R1900. Tom</p>

<p>Can you change the white balance in the camera, if so you should use the setting for flourescent lighting. Gerry Siegel suggestion will work, but I would be a card that is black, white and mediun gray and do a manual white balance. Searched for an article, but I'm sorry to say I could find it. </p>

<p >For a first timer Photoshop Elements I would say is the right choice, it has enough features to do the job right and is easier to learn than CS4 and a lot lower cost. Paintshop Pro is another good choice. As for hardware I'd go with a computer with Dual Processor, and at least 3GB of memory, as for the processing speed I 'd spend as much as you can afford. For the size of the hard drive I'd go with nothing less than 300GB, photos can fill up the drive quickly. I am partial to Epson Printers, I currently have the R1900 that you can get for about $400 on sale it does 13X19 prints, but Epson has many printers from around $100 that do a great job with color.
