Re: [Digital BW] Re: 2400 quality B/W mode...

2005-07-22 by Scott Jones

I am just starting to experiment with the ABW mode and last night ran 
some tests with a greyscale image sent to ABW and used the normal 
setting but then ran a test for tone adjustment with 
the "normal", "dark", and "darker" setting. The "darker" setting 
matched my screen the best and the "normal" was way too light and the 
whites were chalky. I have a Monaco calibrated monitor. I was printing 
with PK and on EPSG paper.

It was scary how close it comes to my best darkroom work. The neutral 
tone looks just a tad bluish/greenish to my eye, but this is very 
subtle and probably heavily influence by my taste and of couse my 
selenium-toned-Ilford-Multigrade-trained eye. I am going to experiment 
next with moving the color point in the color circle and see what 
happens!
