RE: [Digital BW] 17 stops of Linear latitude

2008-10-08 by Steve Gledhill

Fred,

I'm sure that's correct - though I don't try to measure it.  It does result
in a challenge when working with such a file to represent my desired
contrasts in each different area of the final print.  And the compression
referred to earlier requires some areas of the image to be stretched more to
obtain that desired contrast.  So, lots of local work all over an image.
But then, that's what I enjoy and that's what 16 bit Photoshop is for!

I do not doubt the 17 stops. I do believe the results would not be linear.
