Digital BW, The Print

Ernst

I am not sure I understand this:  what doesn't work?  What is the difference
between trying to match a step vs a direct patch measured from the problem
area (either lassoed or eye-dropped)?  (The reason why I am being persistent
is because the step approach doesn't work for colour images.)
