Re: [Digital BW] Re: Need help - PiezographyBW and Dot Gain Curve

2003-01-10 by Julian Thomas

I was thinking more about maybe using the bottom bar in levels - bring the
black in point by point, although you'll need to compensate with the grey
slider. I've never tried this, and I guess it depends if you are over-inking
or not. If in curves you kept the output at 0 but incrementally altered the
input maybe. You'll need to do some black wedges I guess, and then work out
some way of not screwing up the whole image. But I'd certainly do some black
tests to check for over-inking.
