Re: [Digital BW] r2400 highlight point shift feature

2005-08-07 by Bob Frost

Scott,

Not done enough with my R2400 to consider myself an 'expert', but using the 
highlight point shift puts some ink on the 255 patches and shifts the 
neighbouring tones. But I haven't read a detailed scale to see how far down 
the shift goes. I've just printed the white point series from

http://www.zuberphotographics.com/page_WhitePoint.htm

which gives a series of patches at intervals of 1 and 2 from 255 down to 
198, and that clearly shows the effect of checking the highlight shift box.

Good morning. Can any of our expert r2400 members comment on the
highlight point shift feature? Does it just lay down some ink anywhere
where the value is 255 to get rid of bare paper and the resultant gloss
drop out, OR does it shift the entire tonal range down? Has anyone done
any tests?
