Digital BW, The Print

Paul, Thanks for the informative and helpful response.  I was 
rereading the QTR book this afternoon and noticed the two selection 
boxes at the bottom that allows the printer to select two QTR curves 
to print with and mix as needed to match their artistic view.  I'll 
be experimenting with this by doing as you suggest, mixing the warm 
curve with the sepia curve to achieve a warmer and browner look.

Thanks again, Mike
