Re: Repost of FSN curve creation

2005-06-28 by Nick H. Nugent

Is it possible you print your initial test target with some
linearization values carried over from your earlier version of the
profile? If this is not the case, have you tried converting your image
to a QTR gray matte/photo profile prior to printing?
