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

2005-07-26 by Gary Brown

I tried your settings on a 2400. I used EEM, I also printed a larger print 
on Innova Soft Texture Art. The prints are quite warm, especially on the 
Innova paper which has no optical brighteners.  I like the look very much. 
That's all I can say. No technical mumbo jumbo. Hopefully so will my 
customers.

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
