Re: [Digital BW] 1290 VM curves with 1280?

2003-02-02 by Charles Bandes <byronbulb@yahoo.com>

Well, despite all advice to the contrary, I decided to try the curves
anyway with the 1280 and 1280 driver (I don't know if it's possible to
use the 1290 driver on a mac, since it's all plug-n-play and
autosensing...) 

The results are _good_ - much much better than I had gotten using
Paul's 1280 (mac or pc) curves. No posterization, richer blacks,
generally just fantastic. Even better than I had been getting with the
Boley curves.

I have only tried the NC EAM and PR curves so far, so I can't speak to
the other tones yet.
