Snip, Snip.

It seems scanning original in greyscale and then converting it to RGB 
alone was enough to introduce some warmth to the image...at least 
that's what I think I experienced today.

The personal gist of all this was too see how such subtle changes, 
ones that I wouldn't think might affect the picture might have.
After all, they were all 'greyscale' in that it was a B & W image, I 
didn't push it towards any color intentionlly!

To relate it to silver printing with Amidol & a Chlorobromide paper 
(Fortezo or Portriga Rapid) ... a change of a few degrees of the 
solution or slight variation on weight of Potassium Bromide would 
change the papers color and/or contrast.

Cleavis.
