Re: [Digital BW] Paper comparison

2003-01-31 by Truman Prevatt

Hi Jerry,

What about the rest. In my personal tradeoff I can live with a black 
that's not the deepest. I cannot live with a compromise in the 
highlights. If the highlights don't glow - I don't want it. How is 
Photorag on the highlights?
