This rings a bell ... Please give us an example (or two) of what typical 
"short toe" or "long toe" films films were in the (not so) good old
wet-darkroom days.

Or perhaps put otherwise: Where could I see what the "Grey Gamma 2.2
space" does as opposed to the "Dot Gain 20" space regarding the
overall compression parameters (curve or actual pictures, please).
Which of the two working spaces is more appropriate for "low key"
rendering?

Thanks
