Re: MIS FS-N on Somerset Velvet

2002-09-30 by Shilesh Jani

Andy,

It was my post you probably saw. Just to clarify, I use EAM and a 
number of art papers with the FS-N on a 1280. Each paper requires a 
bit of tweaking, which I do as an curve layer for each paper. My 
attempt with Somerset Velvet (Enhanced) were not very good. I did not 
work very hard to optimize. But I noticed really washed out tones, so 
I stopped there.  It is interesting that Somerset paper does not get 
discussed very much in this forum.

Hope this helps.

Shilesh
