Re: Linearization tab in Curve Creator tool

2007-07-17 by David

And one more question: Also, it looks like that Lab numbers don't
always equate to a 'mirror' of the grayscale percentages, is that
correct?  For example, it seems that 50% grayscale is 54 Lab and 85%
grayscale is 13 Lab. 

thanks again, David.
