RE: [Digital BW] GG 2.2 vs. DG 20 (Was Comparison: K3 versus Ultrachrome)

2005-11-22 by John Moody

If you can't see 1 L* in adjacent patches, something is very wrong
somewhere.  I understand about the shuffled bit, but it does not diminish
the requirement of a smooth monitor calibration (before profiling) to allow
accurate tonality assessment while editing BW images.

Best regards,
John Moody

"I don't think anyone, even those with very good eyes, can practically see a
difference of 1 L* regardless of where it sits on the scale from black to
white, especially if the patches are shuffled and they're asked to choose
the darker or lighter of the two."
