Digital BW, The Print

You're right, the histograms get smoothed out by the jpeging (that's why I
include the screen grab). If you want to get down to that level with these
images I will try to do as you ask (probably tomorrow). What small part of
the image do you feel would be the best to show? Should I give the whole
detail I show in the article; both 8 and 16 bit versions? I don't want to
waste any more of our server space with this than we need to.
