One of the points I was trying to make might have been overlooked
because this is primarily a Color newsgroup. I referred to the need
for reliable color rendition so that in working up an image for black
and white that the tones of the color would be more accurately related
to the corresponding tones of grayscale tones. There is a very good
website www.zuberphotographics.com that speaks in detail of this.

Your friend in Photography,
