Digital BW, The Print

Speaking of which, I output some files yesterday with LR and some PFP
colorized profiles and they printed as expected; not too dark.

PSCS2 compatibility enabled

 

Hi CD,

Thanks for the info on the file contents. It wasn't clear to me how 
different it was under the covers.

I haven't produced one of those in 2 years but the next time I get into 
these kinds of images I will use my PFP Suite to handle duotones.

Cheers,
Pierre
