Digital BW, The Print

Bruce, the method outlined by Elizabeth will not work reliably- look for my
recent post re: Paul's method of combining 2 flattened layers, each with
it's own VM curve.  This will work best if 2 Layer sets are used, with
pass-through off.

Today, I tried Elizabeth's two curve adjustment layers at 50% each.
It didn't work very good on my 1160 setup. I did get a in-between
tone, but I also got some weird shadings, bordering on posterization.
Anybody else have luck with it?  Next I'll try Paul Roark's method as
mentioned by someone here, (can't remember who)
