Digital BW, The Print

just between you and me, if I understand him correctly, I don't see
the point of Steve's proposed "linearization".
It just doesn't seem like a viable approach at all. You could achieve
the exact same thing with standard linearization. lets say to LAB in
QTR, and clip the file (in your LAB space) to the dmin & dmax L points
he's arrived at for his paper, and print.
Except for adhereing to some precise standard for the sake of
conversation, I don't get it. I gotta back out of this thread with
him, it goes in circles.
But I've been wrong before, so maybe I'm the one who's nuts...
