question re: greyscale

2015-04-12 by paulmwhiting@...

Hello,

Here's a Dropbox link to the 21-step greyfile supplied with QTR:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7gszzza0mcpod99/21step.tif?dl=0

I wan to measure the density of each step. I note there are three areas to this scale. The top area is a continuous scale, from dark to light. The second, or middle, area shows the steps but with a sort of "scallop" to each patch. The bottom area shows the steps separated by thin white lines, and the steps are more uniform than than the second area's steps.

It seems to be me I should be measuring density from the third, bottom, area to get a more representative reading. Is that correct? If so, just wondering why that middle area has "scalloped" steps. You may have to enlarge the view to better see what I mean.

TIA,

Paul
