Re: [Digital BW] Re: IJC/OPM How do you lighten a profile

2005-02-03 by Joe Berndt

Hello Peter,

If your reading in density values, a ( - 6 ) would be typical.  With Density
readings the idea is to set your step 13 in the AIM to about .63 - .69
range.    The ³green² line is the ideal plot calculated from your paper
white to your D-Max ( the DR range).  The ³red² line is your actual read in
values.  IJC, will adjust your profile to conform to the new AIM line.
