Re: Picture Window Transfer Curves (Thanks)

Jeff --

Thanks for the pointer.  I'll try and adapt your workflow to my Epson 
2450 and see how far I can get.  I've used Paul Roark's .AMP files 
with PW but I'm getting some muddy midtones on my 1520, and so would 
like to "start from scratch" (alas, no $ for Cone's Piezography 
driver).

Cheers,
Darrell
