Re: [Digital BW] profiles and transfer function

2002-04-23 by Jerry Olson

Bob, it is used when printing black and white prints with quad or hex
inksets. Andy darlow has written a transfer curve that deepens the
blacks slightly when printed on certain papers, and I use it along with
pauls curves. I found out how you get to it, it's by selecting "output"
in the print dialogue box.

But There doesn't seem to be any way to load one of paul's curves in
photoshop 7. Although the curves are in the photoshop 7 folder, they
don't show up when checking the "load" button in curves.
