That's what's odd: with my negatives, scanned in my scanner, I get a more
open and readable print, with entirely plausible tonal transitions and in
fact _better_ shadow detail, with the black-only method. My mileage is, I
guess, varying.

It's very possible that I am not exploiting all the capabilities of the
quadtone methods; but at the moment I simply want to get images onto paper.
The best is sometimes enemy of the good, and right now I need good.
