How to get selenium tones with UT2?

2004-08-19 by spswe

Hello everyone,

I just recently started with MIS inks on my EPSON 1280 and I'm quite
impressed. Being used to a real darkroom I have to say that I was
positively surprised by the print quality. 

I started with the EPSON driver sliders and now I'm using Paul's
curves with PaintShop Pro. I converted them manually from ACV format
into PaintShop Pro adjustment curves. They work great and PaintShop
Pro is a great deal in terms of price and functionality. 

I was wondering if anybody has some advice on how to generate more of
a selenium coolish blue tone in the print. I'm using the
UT2_GlossyPP_Carbon, _Sepia, and _Neutral curves and the prints look
great. However, I'd like to expand the tint spectrum towards a coolish
blue tone by modifying the neutral curve but I'm not sure where to
start. The EPSON sliders seem not to give enough control and the print
looses some of its smoothness.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Detlef
