Re:Linearization - is the the most control available?

2007-08-31 by Michael Mutmansky

Sean,

And in response to your initial questions, you cannot do anything linear.
Nothing in this process acts in a truly linear fashion. In my experience.
That's why you'll have to do some testing and a bit of iteration.

You cannot use the linearize function to produce a resultant UV density
except through a back-door approach of testing, and then taking the results
and applying them to the file as an adjustment curve.  That will get you
pretty close, though.

You can't use the reflected density values directly.  You need to go through
the inversions and the Y-N formula to produce an adjustment curve that will
properly linearize the negative.
