Re: [Digital BW] Woolf MIS Quad Workflow

Paul:

Doesn't the Epson driver partition the grayscale in Woolf's workflow
(instead of manually partitioning like your VM Quad RGB and Brandin's 
Original Quad RGB workflows)and Woolf's "curve" then adjusts, ahead 
of time, the Epson driver's output?  [Yes I know why not do it right 
the first time in one step, but I am curious?]

I agree that the 8-bit workflow could be problamatic with certain 
images.
