Just FYI: got two prints now that I'm pretty happy with. First setting is a moderate "cool2warm" split-tone: Starting off with 100% warm highlights, 50/50 mid tones and 100% shadows. That was way too saturated for me so I desaturated it by adding 75% neutral. So the end setting was H M S N 75 75 75 W 25 13 0 C 0 12 25 (H=highlight, M=midtone, S=shadow, N=neutral, W=warm, C=cool) Off course this setting is totally dependent on the image and the paper (EEM), but it worked pretty well in this case, really adding a some 3D effect to the image. In subsequent print I made the midtones and shadows a bit cooler, which further improved the print (marginally). Second setting is a mixed warm-selenium print that I tried before but found again way to saturated. I started off with a 70/30 warm/selenium setting, which is for me a really nice warm tone, subjectively even warmer or "deeper" than pure warm. Subsequently I desaturated that with 50% neutral, so the end setting was: H M S N 50 - - W 35 - - Se 15 - - (no split-tone)
