Digital BW, The Print

The entire discussion on Dynamic Range has been very interesting and
enjoyable. I though that I would add the following onto the table;

In the Ansel Adams book "The Negative", Page 52, the author states "There
are three important scales within the total range of exposures that can be
printed.  The full range from black to white is represented by Zones 0 to X.
Within this lies the dynamic range, representing the first useful values
above Zone 0 and Below Zone X, or Zones I to IX. The range of zones whuch
convey definite qualities of texture and the recognition of substance is the
textural range, from Zones II to VIII."
