"4) there are two sliders that change the tone in the shadows and the highlight separately. This control is VERY sublte. I alway have my shadow slider at about -10, and my highlight slider at about +5, but it is a very slight adjustment." Thanks - that helps "3) There is a color wheel that you can choose diferent tones from. Either by clicking in the wheel or by entering values. Most of us have found that equal values for verticle and horizontal work well. My favorite setting is 4H/4V, but values such as 8H/8V, and 15H/15V give more warmth almost to sepia at 25H/25V." This was one I wanted more info on. For example, if I use the Epson "canned" standard for warm in ABW I can pick up the magenta in the print. I think I'm like Clayton in that I am very sensitive to the subtle shifts to magenta or green in print made with colour inks. It has always been one of the issues with Colorbyte - people would show me a print they said was a nice neutral warm done in Imageprint and I'd reply - err no - you can see the magenta tint in it. (never mind the way OBA's seem to mess with this as well - which I am seing on many of the glossy/semi-gloss papers now I can print o them wit the K3 inks...!) - even when this is very subtle I tend to see it So tweaking the colour wheel in ABW so far has been a game of not getting a subtle magenta or green tint in there (which has never been a big issue with QTR). tim
