Re: Lyson digital Darkroom and Lyson Darkroom White Satin

2005-06-16 by helen_bach2003

We just received our sample, only four months after requesting it. I 
wasn't particularly impressed with it. The DMax was around 1.9 (blue 
channel DMax was 1.5) - nowhere near what Lyson have been claiming,
but this is a satin finish sample; it wasn't neutral in any light; the 
shadows were blocked up; the midtone to highlight transition was not 
smooth and the images were less than sharp.

Most of those are fixable by tweaking the profile and by printing a 
sharp image, of course.

Best, Helen
