Re: [Digital BW] Matching the tone of lenswork magazine?

2005-07-26 by Douglas meeuwsen

well.....I went at it today, and came up with:

  vert=40, horiz=40 tone wheel setting to get close to the tone of the 
lenswork prints.

then I experimented with the sliders, and settled on -20 for the shadow 
tonality slider, and the highlight slider at +10, to get the shadows to 
be more neutral like the magazine

It seems like the sliders change the tone as well as the contrast 
curve, but  in any event the sliders are effective but not drastic

oddly, the colorwheel points near the center seem to be more sensitive 
than the points farther out.

This is just after messing around with a couple of images, and 21 step 
strips......but when i lay the print next to the magazine it looks the 
same, which is quite nice, and pretty drastically diferent than either 
the neutral setting, which is pretty neutral(at +2,+2) and the "warm" 
setting which is more green than I like.
I do like the "cool" setting though......

Anybody else gotten into this yet? Id like to hear if anyone agrees 
with these settings.....>DM
