Re: [colorvision_group] shadow density

2007-03-29 by David Emerick

I tried moving the slider to +5 in shadow detail and it is almost undetectable. I am also ggetting a slight greenish cast and have tried 2 and 3 units of adding red, but again see little difference. Am I being too timid with the sliders?

The sizing is only iin a single direction, so there is wasted space on either side of the target, like 30 inches. What about printing multiple targets (ganged). I did produce a target gang in PS and that worked well.


Thanks again

Thanks for the responses CD, David Miller already mentioned the use of
Photoshop. It has worked just fine. Perhaps in the version 3 of the software
a sizing ability would make sense.

There is already "sizing ability", in that the targets resize to whatever page size and orientation you specify in Page Setup. What you need is multiple target composites for wideformat, which is a more advanced thing, and one that we are certainly keeping in mind for the future.

The only issue I am having now is that the shadow areas are too dark.
Adjusting the brightness slider washes out the highlight areas.

The shadow detail slider under the advanced tab will effect just the shadows. I recommend about a +5 value on this slider for art papers.
