Tom,
Thanks for sharing the data with us. The numbers look a little unusual to me,
however. It looks like the 2:2:6 is more contrasty than 2:1:7, but you did
describe 2:2:6 as "VERY low contrast" whereas 2:1:7 as "general low contrast,"
which is how they should be. I think I am not reading your description right
(somewhere I must have read it backward). Could you explain the figures a
little bit?
Thanks in advance!
Dave S
