RE: curves and gum and Christopher James book
Michael, > A curve calculated for graphic mode (applied to a positive) will, on the surface, look exactly the same as a curve applied to a negative -- BUT since PDN users generally work in binary mode it is this change of mode which functions to invert the curve. > Can you please explain your differentiation of modes, graphic and bin, as you have mentioned above? > When someone figures out how to take a curve and programmatically graft it onto a custom ICC profile life will becomes much simpler for digital negative "curvers" because it'll become as simple as selecting a paper in the print dialogue. > This May, Keith Taylor will be speaking at the f295 symposium in Pittsburgh. The topic of his presentation will be his method gum printing which includes his use of color management and the use of ICC profiles. Don Bryant
