Digital BW, The Print

Well, um, keep in mind that I could be totally totally wrong.

Yes - there are curve sets for warm, medium-warm, neutral,
medium-cool, cool

How that happens is beyond me.

But basically the way it works at a user level is like so:

I do all the work on the file first, usually in 24-bit RGB mode so I
can use adjustment layers. I then choose a curves layer and select the
appropriate curve for the tone I want for the particular image
(choosing from the five above options)

it work
