Digital BW, The Print

I think using a cool curve with a 2:1 ratio of magenta to cyan should blend
with the warm curve to make a fantastic selenium tone option.  I'm out on
the road now...but I was close to such a profile before I left and will
finish it when I get back in another week...unless Carl wants to knock it
off for us in the meantime...should be easy to do with the ink limit
feature.  Just take your magenta/cyan profile and increase the ink limit on
cyan while decreasing the ink limit on magenta...then relinearize.
