Digital BW, The Print

Actually, I want the prints to be cold toned. What I find is that the prints now are more sepia colored (or I guess warm toned). I guess, however, that the advice is the same.

What I'd ideally like to do though is understand the process better. Is there anything which really explains what magic is going on behind the scenes?

Regards, Matthew

Then read the 21-step test print and drop that text output along with the curve on the QTR rgb-raw-16.psd file (converted to raw).
