Can our Fab 5 make over a b&w film shooter who has five (!) enlargers?

Capture Captain: Mike McNamara
"Digital cameras should be like the Fab 5: sharp, colorful—but with low noise." Explains camera settings, handling a histogram, getting whiter white balance, cooking RAW files, the memory card shuffle, how to clean up your color space, and will keep you in stitches about panoramas.
Printer's Devil: Dan Richards
"Inkjet ink, like dry vermouth, is best measured in picoliters." Elucidates on printer setup and settings, raising the hue (but not the cry) in output, getting your printer and computer talking to each other, picking papers and selecting surfaces, and avoiding nasty nozzle clogs.
Calibration Commando: John Owens
"WYSIWYG does not mean What You'll See Is Waaay Yellow and Green." Clarifies collaborating with a spider to clean up your monitor's tints and hues, taking your color temperature, and achieving the Holy Grail: What You See Is What You Get.
Digital Diva: Debbie Grossman
"I never met a software app I couldn't wrestle to the ground in one round." Reveals quick color fixes, how to Photoshop till you don't drop, sharpening without slashing, making layers a piece of cake, and why file management is more than naming your hard drive "shoebox."
Scan Man: Mason Resnick
"For de black-and-white, de-saturation beats D-76 any day." Tells all about getting positive results with negative scanning, oversampling without gaining weight, why ICE is cool, noise reduction without muffling color or sharpness, avoiding the Too Big a Scan trap, and how to be a monochrome maven for b&w printing.
