Hello, it totally depends of: 1. your taste 2. the picture (since all pictures (hopefully) have not the same density, the influence of blended curves changes). For my taste, I use as a baseline: Curve 1: neutral Curve 2: warm Highlights for curve 1: 40 % (hence 60 % for curve 2) Midtones for curve 1: 70 % Shadows for cuve 1: 100 % Regards, Celine --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "jack.zinn" <jack.zinn@...> wrote: > > Hi, First time here, and I wondered if anyone might be able to suggest a method for arriving at a good combination of blended curves for making warm-toned prints? I'd purchased this quite a while ago, found a combination I was pleased with, but never wrote it down. After a big problem I'd had recently due to Nikon's decision to drop support for the Mac's OS and Nikon Scan at a certain point, I desperately fumbled around with too many things, and mistakenly uninstalled the RIP. > > Well, I'm back with it again, and I've recently made some prints. They don't look too far off, but I wondered if there might be a shortcut to multiple trial and error experiments until I happen upon something I really like? Does anyone have a favorite combination they might suggest? Also, do you generally find 3 curves best, or two? > > Not sure if you need this, but I'm printing from scanned film, on an Epson 2200.
