Re: Oriental FB Glossy with MIS VM and VM-S in BO mode.. SUCCESS!

Hello Keith,

>B&W Fiber print.. 

That's good news, glad it's working out well.  It is surprising how
good a BO print can look with a bit of care.  I'm getting more
convinced that the image workup has a lot to do with it.  I recently
printed one of the early images I first worked up nearly two years ago
and was surprised to find it looking grainier than the 870 version. 
How could this be, when the 2200/2880 is producing much smoother
results?  Then I examined the histo and found lots of combs.  I think
I'll rescan the neg and do it all over again.  I know lots more now
about layers and other techniques than I did then.  It will be a good
experiment.   Still lots to learn.

BTW, have you tried Eboni with BO?  It's really pretty stuff.


Regards,
Clayton
