QTR EEnh matte cool Se curve

QTR EEnh matte cool Se curve

2005-04-02 by Diane Fields

Could anyone tell me just what this curve is---is it a blend of Sepia and cool for EEnhMatte? I saw a post not long ago about the use of this curve--with perhaps a warm curve??? Can't remember the context of the post--and am not sure

The "CoolSe" curve uses slightly more light magenta than light cyan, whereas a "Cool" 
curve uses equal amounts of light magenta and light cyan to cool the warm light black ink.  
The "CoolSe" is an attempt to emulate the tones of a lightly selenium toned silver gelatin 
print.  You could blend either the "Cool" or "CoolSe" curves with a warm or carbon curve to 
generate a neutral print.

Thank you Carl. I just happened to try that with the CoolSe--without understanding what the curve was. Found a blend I liked and made it a preset.
