Digital BW, The Print

Peter: Could be my eyes are bad. I know I'm not a "print worshiper" as
Duane Michels referred to some photo collectors. But looking at my
1280 prints using BO compared to Woolf workflow or Roark workflow, the
dots seem the same both to the naked eye and with a loupe. That's my
prints and others.

Your view certainly is the majority one. I just can't see it myself.
Nor can a few others. Your "degraded eyesight" theory is about the
most plausible one I've heard.
