Jerry, have you tried printing out a step wedge with this setting- That will
show if there is a problem.

seen any posterization.  I'm sure there is some shadow detail that is
lost, but for certain images, the deep blacks are so satisfactory I
would prefer them to the subtle shadow detail I will probably lose. I
must make more comparison prints.  I will ask Paul if curves could be
written with the backlight setting to take advantage of the deep black.
I have not seen anything that could be called solarized.
