Setting levels vs. not (was: WHEN will we get simple, reliable BW printing?)

2003-02-18 by Alessandro Pardi

Hi Julian,

this sounds interesting, although I don't really catch what the advantages
may be in getting the blackpoint near to 0 with masks and layers rather than
with levels. I'm pretty sure that you can get the same result (i.e. an image
with black blacks, white whites, and the full gray range in between) both
ways, but one procedure may be easier. Any ideas anybody?

Alessandro
