I did like the results, but started scratching my head when I wondered how to warm up the print or cool it down. Where I am a little confused is how to do this and control each aspect of tone properly. According to my thinking, if I wanted to "cool" the b&w tone, would I raise the "Cyan" slider on the epson driver up to achieve this? To warm it up, do I raise the magenta slider up? What about the yellow? On matte paper I would think the yellow (glop) would ruin the print. My other confusion is to how the yellow channel works. I know in the yellow position there is GLOP. I am aware that I use Ultra Premium Pres Matte paper at all time (or watercolor), but how do I tell the driver to use glop/yellow? How is this controlled? I know you said to start simple, but if I want to use glossy paper then my thinking is I need to use the ICC profiles (which I have no issue with). But that again brings me to the point of using the Photoshop curves. Do I just apply the curve to the grayscale photo, then click on print with No color adjustments for a glossy print? Or do I use the ICC profile? Sometimes I over think things and I maybe doing that here. In my mind I maybe interpreting this all wrong. I have been printing for a very long time, so in a color world I understand the workflow perfectly. I have a calibrated monitor, and use ICC profiles for every paper I own (had them made).
