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

2005-07-27 by Douglas meeuwsen

Yup...after doing this all day today, and looking thru the book, and 
comparing my prints, I found that my 40/40 did not match all of the 
prints. I worked it out to three grades of warm, but all three have the 
same shadow and highlight slider positions.
My neutral warm is v=10 H=10
medium warm is 20/20
and very warm is 40/40
my neutral is 3/3 with sliders in the middle
my guess is that I will think these are too exaggerated tomorrow. 20/20 
might be a good match for lensworks most warm, and 10/10 might be a 
good medium, and my neutral might be just a tad warm at 3/3.
the difference between 2/2 and 4/4 is noticable. About the same diff as 
20/20 and 40/40

thanks for the info though...that was driving me crazy!
