Digital BW, The Print

Here is a tip I got from Paul Roark when he spoke to the SF Bay Area meeting.

Someone asked if there was a curve between the "nc" or neutral cool and the "mw", medium warm. Paul suggested that before printing you flatten your image and then make a duplicate layer. Apply one curve to the background layer and the other to the duplicate. Use the opacity of the duplicate layer to fine tune the print tone.

I imagine this would also be useful where one curve gives you a not quite linear response in an image. Blending two layers might be away out of flat spots in difficult images.

Paul, please jump in here if I heard you wrong.
