Re: Lith film

Sandy,

The density range of your enlarged negative is (should be) the exposure
range of your final material, but Philllip is talking about his original
negative having a density range of 1.6 (about 11 steps on a step tablet).
This means that the exposure range of the lith film must be that or greater
than that, otherwise we will have compressed tones.
