Re: Approach to Curve Creation using UT3D on a 1290s ???

Ben

all very interesting, please keep us posted with your findings.
Personally I'm sticking with QTR and don't use the curve approach,
otherwise I would have been interested in looking at your work, thus
far.

I'm still playing around, and can't quite decide which way to pursue.
I hadn't noticed a green cast with the cool curve, but the spectro
does in fact say it is present. When I've tried to pull the Lab a
back towards zero, I can't say that I actually like the hue I'm 
getting, perhaps someone could advise the sort of magnitude of Lab a 
and b readings that are considered too much for example with a 
neutral curve and a cool curve. Like yourself I actually like the 
carbon only tone as it is.

I'm working on a neutral curve at present. I'm keen to get into 
the +a tones also. A thought I had looking at Joost's 'selenium' 
curve: the Eboni ink seems to have a natural +a / -b tone, with 
suggests to me that an approach with just Eboni, a-axis toner and 
one or both Carbons to bridge the density difference, could be worth 
trying. I'll let you know how I get on with it - unless someone else 
has been there first!

I hope at least some of that is interesting and/or useful. My PS 
curves are available to anyone who wants them, and I look forward 
to further developments.
