Digital BW, The Print

Clayton,

Thank you for your additional information and also for the heads-up on
my being off-topic. Since I was shooting digital and realized I'd blown
the highlights when I went to print on my Epson 2200 using the standard
Epson inks on Ilford Pearl paper I thought it might be on-topic (of
course I realize I didn't post any of that last bit of information!) :o)

By the way, your site is very informative to me and I thank you for it.
Lea

Hello Lea,

>check the histogram after a shot to make sure you don't blow
>the highlights...what adjustment do I make if I did blow them?

Lessen the exposure with the "exposure compensation" control.  Most
cameras allow 1/3 stop increments, up to +/- 2 stops.  On my camera,
if it's on aperture priority it will change the shutter speed, and if
it's on shutter priority it will change the aperture.  If it's on
Program it could do either or both.

BTW, this is an Off Topic subject for this forum, but as long as this
thread doesn't get strung out real long the occasional OT question is
ok.  Got any questions about BW printing? <g>


Regards,
Clayton
