Subject: RE: [Digital BW] Shadow Blocking

Steve, when you should have shadow detail in a print
that becomes solid with no detail, it is blocked.
Maybe you can see it on your monitor or an original,
but the print loses the detail.

You should work on levels and density curves to open up
the shadow areas, and minimize the blocked image areas.

You may also want to check into making sure your printer
is linearized, but that's a more complex subject regarding
color management.
