Re: [Digital BW] Re: VM curves much too dark

Bernhard,

I second Jerry. Are you sure you have converted to RGB mode before applying
the curves? When you apply the neutral cool curves, the on screen image
should turn orange and have more contrast. You can't edit from that point
and this should be the last step before sending the file to the printer.
