That is truly awesome Susan!
Can you post a link to a big one in detail?
Thanks,
Jon

Thanks for the feedback Susan and Loris.
That's a great suggestion Susan. I sometimes forget how tricks with
wiping can make an otherwise pretty good print, outstanding. That
mid-point levels adjustment I made to the transparency was done because
I wanted to see more distinction between the blacks in the pants and the
suit jacket. It worked, but maybe it sacrificed too much in the
highlights in doing so. A better curve should have handed that issue,
in retrospect.
My main purpose in posting this however was to better demonstrate the
qualities of the finer dot screen. Particularly, less speckled look in
the detail, which gives the illusion of a greater number of uniform
tones.
Looking forward to seeing the new radishes. It's such a beautiful
piece.
