Re: [Digital BW] problems with VM curves

Piotr, I'm not sure I was clear on this:

You can start out with any kind image you want. What I meant is that you
wouldn't apply a Paul Roark curve
to an image that was in full color on your monitor. It must be converted
to grayscale, but remain in the RGB mode.
I think that is more clear than what I just sent you!
