Thank you for copying your interesting discussion to the list.

You said :

"Klaus suggests:... (Yes, let's keep it complicated;-))

I hope I've done so."

By overcomplicating the issue we missed the three basic points :

1. The camera often records differently from the way we perceive.

2. That it is for the artist to decide whether one or the other or a
combinination of both appears in the final print.

3. Both platinum and silver gelatine can be used to present the information at
'2' if suitable negatives are prepared.
