Re: [Digital BW] How to tweak UT7 curves for the 2100?

2004-09-25 by Daniel Staver

One thing you can try is applying the neutral curve to one image, and 
the warm curve to a copy of the image. Then put the copy on a separate 
layer over the cool one and play with the transparency.

If you like the results it's fairly simple to make a new curve using the 
values from the mixture of the two previous ones. I'll combine and 
linearize them for you if you mail me the combination you'd like to have 
as a curve.

Not all curves combine well in this manner though, but sometimes it 
works well, and it can be less intimidating than tweaking the curves 
directly.

You could also check out QuadToneRIP. It will let you combine the 
profiles any way you want.
