Godfrey, I am using a PC, XP Pro. I use the Epson R1800. I use Epson inks and Epson Glossy Paper, Pro or whatever. I have the Epson profiles. Like I said, I let the printer control the print in both programs and the PSE always comes out perfect. The LR , since two updates ago, is really bad. I cannot make it print good, no matter what I do to the image. It's really not a big deal. I am very happy with both programs and just use them as per their greatest attributes to me.
