No I said the dynamic range of the silver print is Dmax minus Dmin which is
the ratio of the the minimum and maximum reflectance. I said that a silver
print may not have a DyR as Austin defines it because the noise in his
equation is either zero, approaches zero or is so low as to be reasonably
neglected.
