Re: [Digital BW] Somerset Velvet Radiant White -- warming

2002-03-15 by James Klebau

Hi Jerry,

I have found that somerset velvet -appears- to have a "good" black when 
the blacks in the image are small areas surrounded by much larger, much 
lighter areas..... snow scenes and branches against the sky, for 
instance. I didn't intend for this answer to replace the better tech 
answer that Paul can supply. Just thought it could help on a different 
level.

I had a lot of s.v. on hand when I acquired some Hahnemueler Photo Rag, 
and was able to get some use out of using this approach.

Jim
